lirik lagu calum macphail - the irish rover
in the year of our lord, eighteen~hundred and six
we set sail from the sweet cobh of cork
we were sailing away with a cargo of bricks
for the grand city hall in new york
’twas a wonderful craft, she was rigged fore and aft
oh, how the wild wind drove her
she stood several blasts, she had twenty~seven masts
and they called her the irish rover
we had one million bags of the best sligo rags
we had two million barrels of stones
we had three million sides of old blind horses’ eyes
we had four million barrels of bones
we had five million hogs, six million dogs
seven million barrels of porter
we had eight million bails of old nanny goats’ tails
in the hold of the irish rover
there was awl mickey coote who played hard on his flute
when the ladies lined up for his set
he was tootin’ with sk!ll for each sparkling quadrille
though the dancers were fluther’d and bet
with his sp~rs~ witty talk he was c~ck of the walk
as he rolled the dames under and over
they all knew at a glance when he took up his stance
and he sailed in the irish rover
there was barney mcgee from the banks of the lee
there was hogan from county tyrone
there was johnny mcgurk who was scared stiff of work
and a man from westmeath called malone
there was slugger o’toole who was drunk as a rule
and fighting bill tracey from dover
and your man mick mccann from the banks of the bann
was the skipper of the irish rover
for a sailor it’s always a bother in life
it’s so lonesome by night and by day
’til he launch for the shore and this charming young wh0re
who will melt all his troubles away
all the noise and the rout
swollen poitín and stout
for him soon the torment’s over
of the love of a maid he’s never afraid
and old sot from the irish rover
we had sailed seven years when the measles broke out
and the ship lost it’s way in the fog
and that whale of the crew was reduced down to two
just myself and the captain’s old dog
then the ship struck a rock, oh lord what a shock
the bulkhead was turned right over
turned nine times around, and the poor dog was drowned
i’m the last of the irish rover
