《The Irish Rover》歌词

[00:00:00] The Irish Rover - The Hit Crew (热歌组合)

[00:00:04] In the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and six

[00:00:08] We set out from the coal quay of Cork

[00:00:12] We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks

[00:00:16] For the grand City Hall in New York

[00:00:20] We'd an elegant craft she was rigged 'fore and aft

[00:00:25] And how the Trade Winds drove her

[00:00:29] She had twenty three masts and she stood several blasts

[00:00:33] And they called her the Irish Rover

[00:00:40] There was Barney Magee from the banks of the Lee

[00:00:44] There was Hogan from County Tyrone

[00:00:48] There was Johnny McGurk who was scared stiff of work

[00:00:52] And a chap from Westmeath named Mallone

[00:00:57] There was Slugger O'Toole who was drunk as a rule

[00:01:01] And fighting Bill Tracey from Dover

[00:01:05] And your man Mick McCann from the banks of the Bann

[00:01:09] Was the skipper on the Irish Rover

[00:01:16] We had one million bags of the best Sligo rags

[00:01:20] We had two million barrels of bone

[00:01:25] We had three million bales of old nanny goat tails

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

[00:01:33] Five million hogs six million dogs

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

[00:01:41] We had eight million sides of old blind horses' hides

[00:01:45] In the hold of the Irish Rover

[00:02:29] We had sailed seven years when the measles broke out

[00:02:32] And the ship lost her way in the fog

[00:02:37] And the whole of the crew was reduced down to two

[00:02:41] Twas meself and the captain's old dog

[00:02:45] Then the ship struck a rock Oh what a shock

[00:02:50] And the bulkhead was turned right over

[00:02:56] She turned nine times around

[00:02:59] And the poor old dog was drowned

[00:03:04] I'm the last of The Irish Rover
