We were bound far away with a cargo of bricks For the fine city hall of New York. In a very fine craft, she was rigged fore-and-aft And oh, how the wild winds drove her. She had twenty-three masts and withstood several blasts And we called her the Irish Rover. 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 Meade called Mellone. There was Slugger O'Toole who was drunk as a rule And fighting Bill Casey from Dover. There was Dooley from Claire who was strong as a bear And was skipper of the Irish Rover. We had one million bales of old billy goats' tails, We had two million buckets of stones. We had three million sides of old blind horses hides, We had four million packets of bones. We had five million hogs, we had six million dogs, And seven million barrels of porter. We had eight million bags of the best Sligo rags In the hold of the Irish Rover. We had sailed seven years when the measles broke out And the ship lost her way in a fog. And the whole of the crew was reduced unto two, 'Twas myself and the captain's old dog. Then the ship struck a rock with a terrible shock And then she heeled right over, Turned nine times around, and the poor dog was drowned-- I'm the last of the Irish Rover. @laying @Irish @ship @sailor filename[ IRSHROV RG ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: It Aint Gonna Rain No More, It Came Upon The Midnight Clear, It Must Have Been The Wine, It Pays To Advertise, It Was A Lover And His Lass, Italy Native Anthem Text, Its Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas, Its The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year, Its The Talk Of The Town, Its A Long Long Way To Tipperary, Its A Long Way From Amphioxus, Its A Pleasure To Know You, Its A Shyme, Its Always The Right Time For Love, Its Better To Be Single Than A Poor Mans Wife, Its Not Just What Youre Born With, Its Only A Wee Wee, Its Only My Auld Sheen False Bride, Its Organic, Its Sister Jennys Turn To Throw The Bomb, Its The Syme The Ole World Over, Itsy Bitsy Spider, Ive Been To Harlem, Ive Been Working On The Railroad, Ive Got A Ferret, Ive Got Better Things To Do, Ive Got No Use For The Women, Ive Got Sixpence, Ive Got The Clanks, Ja So Warns Die Alten Rittersleut, Jack Ash Society, Jack In The Green, Jack Odiamonds, Jack Rowland, Jack The Sailor Jackie Monroe, Jack Was Every Inch A Sailor, Jackaroe, Jackson, Jam On Gerrys Rock, Jam On Gerrys Rocks, Jamaica Anthem Text, Jamaica Farewell, James Bird, James Campbell, James Connolly, James James Morrison Morrison, Jamestown Homeward Bound, Jamie Foyer, January Man, Jarama Valley, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
