On the 4th of July,
[C] 1806, we [G] set sail from the sweet cove [D] of Cork.
[G] We were sailing away with a cargo [C] of bricks [D] from the Grand City Hall in New York.
[G] It was a wonderful craft, [D] she was rigged for a dash.
We know how the wild wind blowed her.
She [G] stood several blasts, she had [C] 27 masts.
[D] And we saw how the [G] iron was rolled over.

We [D] had 4 million barrels [G] of bones.
We had 5 million hoes, [D] 6 million ducks, [G] 7 million [D] barrels of pork.
We [G] had 8 million piles of old [C] nanny goss [G] tails.
And all of the Irish [D] rover.
[G] There was a little Mickey Moose who played bag [C] on his flute.
[G] And the ladies lined up on [D] his steps.
He [G] was simple with skill, with sparkling [C] quadrille.
[G] And the dancers [D] were flute and [G]
bedtime.

[G] He rode the day under [D] a rover.

And finally Bell Shicey O'Toll.
I am from the banks [C] of the [G] Bustus, from the [E] Irish rover.
[G] For a sailor it's always a bother in life.
It's all on him by night [D] and by day.
[G] And he longs for the shore and a charming [C] young home.
[G] And one man found his trouble away.
All the noise and the rouse [D] still him put in his stint.
[G] And then soon it [D] got him [G] nowhere.
The blow of a maiden did [C] never afraid.
[D] But I'll talk from the [G] Irish rover.
We are sailing seven years when the Bezos [C] broke up.
[G] And the ship lost its [D] way in the flood.
And [G] a whale of a crew was reduced.
[C] Now the [G] tiller did miss the [D] final and the [G] captain's old dog.
And the ship spoke a lot, [D] all the Lord would have shuddered.
[G] But the boat in the sun [D] ran over.
[G] Turned nine times around and the poor old dog [C] was drowned.
[G] And that's the Irish rover.
