Irish rover

Fiddlers green
Irish roverOn the fourth of July eighteen hundred and six
We set sail from the sweet cove of Cork
We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks
For the grad city hall in New York
'T was a wonderful craft, she was rigged fore-and-aft
And oh, how the wild winds drove her
She got several blasts, she had twenty-seven masts
And they called her the Irish Rover

We had one million bales of the best Sligo rags
We had two million barrels of rum
We had three million sides of old blind horses hides
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 playes hard on his flute
When the ladies lined up for his set
He would tootle with skill for each sparkling quadrille
Though the dancers were fluther'd and bet
With his sparse witty talk he was cock of the walk
As he rolled the dames under and over
And they knew at a glance when he took up his stance
They sailed in the Irish Rover

There was Barney McGee from the banks of the Lee
There was Hogan from County Tyrone
There was Jimmy McGurk who was scarred stiff of work
And a man from Westmeath called Malone
There was Slugger O'Toole who was drunk as a rule
And fighthing Bill Tracey from Dover
And your man Mick McCann from the banks of the Bann
Was the skipper of the Irish Rover

We had sailed seven years when the measles broke out
And the ship lost it's way in a 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

Irish roverNo mês de Julho de 1800 e seis
Partimos da enseada doce de Cork
Nós estávamos navegando com uma carga de tijolos
Para o graduado da prefeitura de Nova York
'T era um ofício maravilhoso, ela foi fraudada frente-e-ré
E oh, como os ventos selvagens levou
Ela tem várias explosões, ela tinha 27 mastros
E chamaram-lhe o Irish Rover
Tivemos um milhão de fardos de os melhores panos Sligo
Tivemos dois milhões de barris de rum
Tivemos três milhões lados de velhos couros cegos cavalos
Tivemos quatro milhões de barris de ossos
Tivemos cinco milhões de suínos, seis milhões de cães
Sete milhões de barris de porteiro
Tivemos oito milhões de fardos caudas cabras velhas babá '
No porão da Rover irlandês
Houve furador Coote Mickey que playes duro em sua flauta
Quando as senhoras alinhadas para o seu conjunto
Ele Tootle com habilidade para cada quadrilha espumante
Embora os dançarinos foram fluther'd e apostar
Com sua palestra escassa espirituoso ele era galo da caminhada
Como rolou as damas sob e sobre
E eles sabiam que de relance, quando ele assumiu sua postura
Eles navegaram no Irish Rover
Houve Barney McGee dos bancos da Lee
Houve Hogan de County Tyrone
Houve Jimmy McGurk que foi marcado dura de trabalho
E um homem de Westmeath chamado Malone
Houve Slugger O'Toole que estava bêbado como regra
E fighthing Bill Tracey de Dover
E o seu homem Mick McCann dos bancos da Bann
Foi o capitão do Irish Rover
Nós tínhamos navegado sete anos, quando o sarampo eclodiu
E o navio perdeu seu caminho em uma névoa
E que a baleia da tripulação foi reduzida para dois
Apenas eu e velho cão do capitão
Em seguida, o navio atingiu uma rocha, oh Senhor, o que é um choque!
A antepara foi transformado por cima
Girou em torno de nove vezes, eo pobre cão foi afogado
Eu sou o último da Rover irlandês
