[00:00.00][01:31.50][03:03.00][01:51.70]
[00:07.00]	On the Fourth of July, eighteen hundred and six
[00:11.00]	We set sail from the sweet cove of Cork
[00:14.35]	We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks
[00:18.10]	For the Grand City Hall in New York
[00:21.50]	'Twas a wonderful craft
[00:23.00]	She was rigged fore-and-aft
[00:25.00]	And oh, how the wild wind drove her
[00:28.10]	She stood several blasts
[00:30.10]	She had twenty seven masts
[00:31.75]	And they called her The Irish Rover
[00:35.83]	We had one million bags of the best Sligo rags
[00:39.19]	We had two million barrels of stone
[00:42.72]	We had three million sides of old blind horses hides
[00:46.15]	We had four million barrels of bones
[00:49.50]	We had five million hogs
[00:51.70]	And six million dogs
[00:53.30]	Seven million barrels of porter
[00:56.50]	We had eight million bails of old nanny-goats' tails
[01:00.15]	In the hold of the Irish Rover
[01:04.20]	There was awl Mickey Coote
[01:05.85]	Who played hard on his flute
[01:07.51]	When the ladies lined up for a set
[01:10.90]	He was tootin' with skill
[01:12.75]	For each sparkling quadrille
[01:14.60]	Though the dancers were fluther'd and bet
[01:17.71]	With his smart witty talk
[01:19.80]	He was cock of the walk
[01:21.48]	And he rolled the dames under and over
[01:24.60]	They all knew at a glance
[01:26.54]	When he took up his stance
[01:28.25]	That he sailed in The Irish Rover
[01:40.50]	Traditional Irish folk song - The Irish Rover
[02:00.70]	There was Barney McGee
[02:02.55]	From the banks of the Lee
[02:04.10]	There was Hogan from County Tyrone
[02:07.63]	There was Johnny McGurk
[02:09.31]	Who was scared stiff of work
[02:10.93]	And a man from Westmeath called Malone
[02:14.40]	There was Slugger O'Toole
[02:16.00]	Who was drunk as a rule
[02:17.75]	And Fighting Bill Treacy from Dover
[02:21.20]	And your man, Mick MacCann
[02:22.78]	From the banks of the Bann
[02:24.60]	Was the skipper of the Irish Rover
[02:28.66]	We had sailed seven years
[02:30.75]	When the measles broke out
[02:32.29]	And the ship lost its way in the fog
[02:35.50]	And that whale of a crew
[02:37.45]	Was reduced down to two
[02:39.00]	Just myself and the Captain's old dog
[02:42.50]	Then the ship struck a rock
[02:44.60]	Oh Lord! what a shock
[02:46.00]	The bulkhead was turned right over
[02:50.90]	Turned nine times around
[02:54.17]	And the poor old dog was drowned
[02:59.00]	I'm the last of The Irish Rover
