《The Irish Rover》歌词

[00:00:00] The Irish Rover - Irish Mist

[00:00:09] On the fourth of July 1806

[00:00:13] We set sail from the sweet cove of Cork

[00:00:18] We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks

[00:00:22] For the grand city hall in New York

[00:00:26] We had a wonderful craft she was rigged fore and aft

[00:00:30] And oh how the wild wind drove her

[00:00:34] She stood several blasts she had twenty-seven masts

[00:00:38] And they called her the Irish Rover

[00:00:43] There was Barney McGee from the banks of the Lee

[00:00:47] There was Hogan from County Tyrone

[00:00:51] There was Johnny McGurk who was scared stiff of work

[00:00:56] And a man from Westmeath called Malone

[00:01:00] There was Slugger O'Toole who was drunk as a rule

[00:01:04] And Fighting Bill Treacy from Dover

[00:01:08] And your man Mick MacCann from the banks of the Bann

[00:01:12] Was the skipper of the Irish Rover

[00:01:17] We had one million bags of the best Sligo rags

[00:01:21] We had two million barrels of stone

[00:01:25] We had three million sides of old blind horses hides

[00:01:29] We had four million barrels of bones

[00:01:33] We had five million hogs and six million dogs

[00:01:37] Seven million barrels of porter

[00:01:41] We had eight million bails of old nanny-goats' tails

[00:01:46] In the hold of the Irish Rover

[00:01:51] We had sailed seven years when the measles broke out

[00:01:55] And the ship lost It's way in the fog

[00:01:59] And that whale of a crew was reduced down to two

[00:02:03] Just myself and the Captain's old dog

[00:02:07] Then the ship struck a rock oh Lord what a shock

[00:02:11] The bulkhead was turned right over

[00:02:15] Turned nine times around and the poor old dog was drowned

[00:02:19] I'm the last of The Irish Rover
