《The Irish Rover》歌词

[00:00:00] The Irish Rover - Tommy Makem/Peg Clancy Power

[00:00:04] In the year of our Lord

[00:00:06] Eighteen hundred and six

[00:00:08] We set sail from the Coal Quay of Cork

[00:00:11] We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks

[00:00:15] For the grand City Hall in New York

[00:00:19] We'd an elegant craft

[00:00:21] It was rigged 'fore and aft

[00:00:23] And how the trade winds drove her

[00:00:27] She had twenty-three masts

[00:00:29] And she stood several blasts

[00:00:31] And they called her the Irish Rover

[00:00:35] There was Barney Magee

[00:00:37] From the banks of the Lee

[00:00:39] There was Hogan from County Tyrone

[00:00:43] There was Johnny McGurk

[00:00:45] Who was scared stiff of work

[00:00:47] And a chap from Westmeath named Malone

[00:00:50] There was Slugger O'Toole

[00:00:52] Who was drunk as a rule

[00:00:54] And fighting Bill Tracy from Dover

[00:00:58] And your man Mick McCann

[00:01:00] From the banks of the Bann

[00:01:02] Was the skipper on the Irish Rover

[00:01:06] We had one million bags

[00:01:08] Of the best Sligo rags

[00:01:10] We had two million barrells of bone

[00:01:14] We had three million bales

[00:01:16] Of old nanny goats' tails

[00:01:18] We had four million barrells of stone

[00:01:22] We had five million hogs and six million dogs

[00:01:25] And seven million barrells of porter

[00:01:29] We had eight million sides

[00:01:31] Of old blind horses' hides

[00:01:33] In the hold of the Irish Rover

[00:01:38] We had sailed seven years

[00:01:40] When the measles broke out

[00:01:41] And our ship lost her way in a fog

[00:01:45] And the whole of the crew

[00:01:47] Was reduced down to two

[00:01:49] 'Twas myself and the captain's old dog

[00:01:53] Then the ship struck a rock

[00:01:55] Oh Lord what a shock

[00:01:57] And nearly tumbled over

[00:02:00] Turned nine times around

[00:02:02] Then the poor old dog was drowned

[00:02:07] I'm the last of the Irish Rover
