On the 4th of July,
[C] 1806, [G] we set sail from the sweet [D] Coca-Cola.
We [G] were sailing away with a cargo [C] of bricks [G] for the Grand [D] City Hall [G] in New York.
With a wonderful blast, [D] she was reaped for an hour.
[G] In no while, the water [D] was over.
[G] She swooned several times.
She had 27 [C] men.
[G] They called her the [D] Irish [G] Rover.
With one million bags of the best [C] slime away.
[D] And two million barrels of stone.
We [G] had three million sides of old blood and horses hide.
We had four [D] million barrels of bone.
We [G] had five million [D] hogs.
Six million [G] dogs.
Seven million barrels [D] of corn.
[G] We had eight million bells.
And a whole [D] lot of the [G] Irish Rover.
There was old Mickey Coot who played [A] hard on his flute.
[G] When the ladies lined up [D] for a sit.
[G] There was Tootin' Whipscale from each [C] spot.
When he could drill, [D] throw the gasses of butter [G] to the bank.
When he smiled, when he talked, [D] he was cock of the water.
He loaded things under and over.
That [G] old dude had a blast.
When he took [C] up his stance, [G] he sailed [D] on the [G] Irish Rover.

[G] There was Bonnie McGee from the banks of [C] the lake.
There [G] was Hogan from County [D] Tyrone.
There [G] was Johnny McGurk who was scant [C] stiff of work.
[G] There was a man from [D] a speed [G] called Malone.
There was Slugger Old Toe [D] who was drunk as a [G] rule.
Farting the three [D] feet from Dove.
[G] And there was a man [D] named McCann from the banks of the back.
He was the skipper of the Irish Rover.

We had sailed seven years when the moon broke out.
And the ship lost its way [D] in the fog.
And [G] the will of the crew was reduced to [C] stone.
[D] Just yourself and the captains [G] on dog.
And the ship sank a lot, [D] oh lord what a shock.
[G] The bulkhead was turned [D] right over.
[G] Turned nine times around.
And the poor old dog [C] was drowned.
[F#] [G] At last to the Irish Rover.
