The Irish Rover piano leadsheet with chords

In the year of our Lord,

eighteen hundred and six, we set sail from the Coal Quay of Cork.

We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks,

for the grand city hall in New York.

We'd an elegant craft, it was rigged fore and aft,

and how ing the trade winds from drove her.

She had twentythree masts and she stood sev'ral blasts,

and they called per her the Irish Rover.

There was Barney Magee from the banks of the Lee.

There was Hogan from County Tyrone.

There was Johnny McGurk, who was scared stiff of work,

and a chap from Westmeath named Malone.

There was Slugger O'Toole, who was drunk as a rule,

and fight ing Bill Tracy from Dover.

And your man Mick McCann, from the banks of the Bann,

was the skip per on the Irish Rover.

There was Rover.
