《The Irish Rover》歌词

[00:00:00] The Irish Rover - Brogue/Paddy O'Gorman

[00:00:00] On The fourth of july eighteen hundred and six

[00:00:03] We set sail from the sweet cove of cork

[00:00:07] We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks

[00:00:10] For the grand city hall in new york

[00:00:14] Towas a wonderful craft she was rigged fore-and-aft

[00:00:17] And oh how the wild winds drove her

[00:00:21] She'd got several blasts she'd twenty-seven masts

[00:00:24] And we called her the irish rover

[00:00:28] We had one million bales of the best sligo rags

[00:00:32] We had two million barrels of stones

[00:00:35] We had three million sides of old blind horses hides

[00:00:39] We had four million barrels of bones

[00:00:43] Five million hogs six million dogs

[00:00:46] Seven million barrels of porter

[00:00:49] We had eight million bails of old nanny goats' tails

[00:00:53] In the hold of the irish rover

[00:00:57] There was awl mickey coote

[00:00:59] Who played hard on his flute

[00:01:00] When the ladies lined up for his set

[00:01:04] He was tooting with skill for each sparkling quadrille

[00:01:07] Though the dancers were fluther'd and bet

[00:01:11] In the sparse witty talk he was cock of the walk

[00:01:14] As he rolled the dames under and over

[00:01:18] They all knew at a glance

[00:01:19] When he took up his stance

[00:01:21] And he sailed in the irish rover

[00:01:26] There was jimmy mcgurk

[00:01:27] Who was scarred stiff of work

[00:01:29] There was holding funking tep low

[00:01:33] There was Barney Mcgee from the banks of the Lee

[00:01:36] And the men funing bee come along

[00:01:40] Slugger o'toole

[00:01:42] Drunk as a rule

[00:01:43] Fighting bill tracey from dover

[00:01:47] And your man mick mccann

[00:01:48] From the banks of the bann

[00:01:50] Was the skipper of the irish rover

[00:01:55] We had sailed seven years

[00:01:56] When the measles broke out

[00:01:58] And the ship lost it's way in a fog

[00:02:01] And that whale of the crew was reduced down to two

[00:02:05] Just meself and the captain's old dog

[00:02:08] Then the ship struck a rock oh lord what a shock

[00:02:12] The bulkhead was turned right over

[00:02:19] Turned nine times around

[00:02:24] And the poor dog was drowned

[00:02:30] I'm the last of the irish rover
