《The Irish Rover》歌词

[00:00:00] Irish Rover - Shannon Singers

[00:00:08] In the year of our Lord

[00:00:10] Eighteen hundred and six

[00:00:12] We set sail from the Coal Quay of Cork

[00:00:16] We were sailing away with

[00:00:18] A cargo of bricks

[00:00:20] For the grand City Hall in New York

[00:00:24] We'd an elegant craft

[00:00:26] It was rigged 'fore and aft

[00:00:28] And oh how the wild wind drove her

[00:00:32] She stood several blasts

[00:00:34] She had twenty-three masts

[00:00:36] And they called her the Irish Rover

[00:00:40] We had one million bags

[00:00:42] Of the best Sligo rags

[00:00:44] We had two million barrells of bone

[00:00:48] We had three million bales

[00:00:50] Of old nanny goats' tails

[00:00:52] We had four million barrells of stone

[00:00:56] We had five million hogs

[00:00:58] And six million dogs

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

[00:01:04] We had eight million sides

[00:01:06] Of old blind horses' hides

[00:01:08] In the hold of the Irish Rover

[00:01:20] There was Barney Magee from

[00:01:22] The banks of the Lee

[00:01:24] There was Hogan from County Tyrone

[00:01:28] There was Johnny McGurk

[00:01:30] Who was scared stiff of work

[00:01:32] And a chap from Westmeath named Malone

[00:01:36] There was Slugger O'Toole

[00:01:38] Who was drunk as a rule

[00:01:40] And fighting Bill Tracy from Dover

[00:01:44] And your man Mick McCann

[00:01:46] From the banks of the Bann

[00:01:48] Was the skipper on the Irish Rover

[00:01:52] We had sailed seven years

[00:01:54] When the measles broke out

[00:01:56] And our ship lost her way in a fog

[00:02:00] And the whole of the crew

[00:02:02] Was reduced down to two

[00:02:04] 'Twas myself and the captain's old dog

[00:02:08] Then the ship struck a rock

[00:02:10] Oh Lord what a shock

[00:02:12] And nearly tumbled over

[00:02:16] Turned nine times around

[00:02:19] Then the poor old dog was drowned

[00:02:23] I'm the last of the Irish Rover
