[C] [D] [G]
On the 4th of July, [C] 1806, we [G] set sail from the sweet [D] Cove of Cork.
We [G] were sailing away with a cargo of bricks for the Grand City Hall in [G] New York.
On the wonderful grass, she [D] was great for an hour, [G] until, wow, the water [D] was over.
[G] She stood several miles, she had 27 miles, and they called her the [D] Irish [G] Rover.
We had one million bags of the best [C] slag away, [G] and two million barrels [D] of stone.
We had three million sides of old blood, and we had four [D] million barrels of [G] bone.
We had five million hogs, six million dogs, [G] seven million barrels [D] of horn.
We had eight million bills, and the whole of [D] the Irish [G] Rover.
That was old Mickey Coot, who played [A] harness boot when [G] the ladies lined up for [D] a sip.
That [G] was Tootin' Hopskill, from each spot when [C] he could drill, [G] with all the dancers of butter and of
With his smile, when he talked, he [D] was cock of the walk.
He ruled the things under and over, [G] that'll do when I blast.
When he took up his stance, and he sailed on the Irish Rover.

That [G] was Slugger [D] O'Toole, who was drunk as a roll.
