《The Irish Rover》歌词

[00:00:00] The Irish Rover - Jive Bunny

[00:00:08] On the fourth of july 1806

[00:00:11] We set sail from the sweet cove of cork

[00:00:14] We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks

[00:00:18] For the grand city hall in new york

[00:00:21] T'was a wonderful craft she was rigged fore and aft

[00:00:25] And oh how the wild wind drove her

[00:00:28] She stood several blasts she had twenty-seven masts

[00:00:31] And they called her the irish rover

[00:00:35] We had one million bags of the best sligo rags

[00:00:39] We had two million barrels of stone

[00:00:42] We had three million sides of old blind horses' hides

[00:00:46] We had four million barrels of bone

[00:00:49] We had five million hogs and six million dogs

[00:00:53] And seven million barrels of porter

[00:00:56] We had eight million bails of old nanny gold tails

[00:00:59] In the hold of the irish rover

[00:01:04] There was old mickey coote who played hard on his flute

[00:01:07] When the ladies lined up for a set

[00:01:10] He was tootin' with skill for each sparking quadrille

[00:01:14] Though the dancers were fluther'd and bet

[00:01:17] With his smart witty talk he was cock of the walk

[00:01:21] He rolled the dames under and over

[00:01:24] They all knew at a glance when he took up his stance

[00:01:27] That he sailed on the irish rover

[00:02:00] There was barney mcgee from the banks of the lee

[00:02:03] There was hogan from county tyrone

[00:02:07] There was johnny mcgurk who was scared stiff of work

[00:02:10] And your man from the west meath called malone

[00:02:13] The was slugger o'toole who was drunk as a rule

[00:02:17] And fighting bill tracey from dover

[00:02:20] And your man mick mccann from the banks of the bann

[00:02:24] Was the skipper of the irish rover

[00:02:28] We had sailed seven years when the measles broke out

[00:02:31] And the ship lost its way in the fog

[00:02:35] And that whale of a crew was reduced down to two

[00:02:38] Just myself and the captain's old dog

[00:02:41] Then the ship struck a rock oh lord what a shock

[00:02:45] The bulkhead was turned right over

[00:02:50] Turned nine times around and the poor old dog was drowned

[00:02:59] And the last of the irish rover
