paroles de chanson The Irish Rover - Tommy Makem
In
the
year
of
our
lord,
eighteen
hundred
and
six,
We
set
sail
from
the
coal
quay
of
cork
We
were
sailing
away
with
a
cargo
of
bricks
For
the
grand
city
hall
in
new
york
We'd
an
elegant
craft,
it
was
rigged
'fore
and
aft
And
how
the
trade
winds
drove
her
She
had
twenty-three
masts
and
she
stood
several
blasts
And
they
called
her
the
irish
rover
There
was
barney
magee
from
the
banks
of
the
lee
There
was
hogan
from
county
tyrone
There
was
johnny
mcgurk
who
was
scared
stiff
of
work
And
a
chap
from
westmeath
named
malone
There
was
slugger
o'toole
who
was
drunk
as
a
rule
And
fighting
bill
tracy
from
dover
And
your
man
mick
mccann,
from
the
banks
of
the
bann
Was
the
skipper
on
the
irish
rover
We
had
one
million
bags
of
the
best
sligo
rags
We
had
two
million
barrells
of
bone
We
had
three
million
bales
of
old
nanny
goats'
tails
We
had
four
million
barrells
of
stone
We
had
five
million
hogs
and
six
million
dogs
And
seven
million
barrells
of
porter
We
had
eight
million
sides
of
old
blind
horses'
hides
In
the
hold
of
the
irish
rover
We
had
sailed
seven
years
when
the
measles
broke
out
And
our
ship
lost
her
way
in
a
fog
And
the
whole
of
the
crew
was
reduced
down
to
two
'Twas
myself
and
the
captain's
old
dog
Then
the
ship
struck
a
rock,
oh,
lord
what
a
shock
And
nearly
tumbled
over
Turned
nine
times
around
- then
the
poor
old
dog
was
drowned
I'm
the
last
of
the
irish
rover
