Together
On the Fourth of July
Eighteen Hundred

and Six
we set sail from the

sweet cove 0f Cork
We were sailing away

With a cargo of bricks
for the grand
City Hall

in New York
We had three million
sides of old blind
horses hides.

We had four million

barrels of bones
We had jive

million hogs
and six million dogs
We had eight million
bails of old
nanny-goats tails
in the hold of
the Irish Rover
When he took
up his stance
that he sailed in
the Irish Rover

g
There was Barney

McGee from the banks
of the Lee
There was Johnny

McGurk Who was
scared sin of work
We had sailed seven
years When the measles

broke out and the ship
lost its way in the fog
And that Whale
of a crew was reduced
down to two,

just myself and the
Captain's old dog
Then the ship

struck a rock

Oh Lord

what a shock
The bulkhead was

turned right over..
And the las'

of the Irish Rover
