Lyrics:
In the year of our Lord Eighteen hundred and six We set sail from the fair Cobh of Cork, We were bound far away With a cargo of bricks For the fair City Hall of New York.
We'd a beautiful craft, She was rigged fore and aft, And Lord how the trade winds drove her, As she stood to the blast, She had twenty-three masts And we called her the Irish Rover.
Chorus: Fare thee well, my own true one, I'm going far from you And I will swear by the stars above, Forever I'll be true; But as I part it will break my heart, And when the trip is over, I'll roam again in true Irish style Aboard the Irish Rover.
Donoghue and Mac Hugh Came from Red Waterloo. And O'Neill and Mac Flail from the Rhine. There was Ludd and Mac Gludd From the land of the flood Pat Malone, Mike Mac Gowan and O'Brien,
There was Barney McGee From the banks of the Lee, There was Hogan from County Tyrone. And a chap called McGurk Who was scared stiff of work And a chap from West Meath called Mellone.
Chorus
There was Slugger O'Toole Who was drunk as a rule And fighting Bill Casey from Dover. There was Dooley from Clare Who was strong as a bear And was skipper of the Irish Rover.
Bould Mac Gee, Mac Entee And big Neill from Tigree And Michael O'Dowd from Dover And a man from Turkestan Sure his name was Kid Mac Cann Was the cook on the Irish Rover.
Chorus
We had one million bags Of the best Sligo rags, We had two million barrels of bones, We had three million sides From old blind horse hides We had four million bags full of stones.
We had five million dogs And six million hogs, And seven million bundles of clover. We had eight million bales Of old billy goats tails, In the hold of the Irish Rover.
Chorus
O we sailed seven years And the measles broke out, And the ship lost her way in a fog. And the whole of the crew Was reduced unto two Just meself and the skipper's old dog.
And we struck on a rock With a terrible shock And Lord, she rolled right over. She turned nine times around; And the old dog got drowned I'm the last of the Irish Rover.
