On the 4th of July, [C] 1806, we [G] set sail on a sweet home.
[D] [G] We were sailing away with a cargo [C] of bricks,
on a [D] groundless city haul [G] in New York.
As the one-wire mudcraft [D] came and raked all along,
[G] we saw how the wild [D] wind [G] blowed her.
She took several blasts, she took [C] seven blasts,
and [D] we called her the [G] Irish Rover.
We had one million pikes, and a fast [C]-slowing horizon,
[G] we had two million barrels [D] of salt,
we [G] had three full sides of [C] outlying horses,
we [D] had four million [G] barrels of boals,
we had five million [D] huts, six million pups,
[G] seven million barrels of [D] boards,
and [G] we had eight miles of outlying [C] eagles' [G] tails,
and all of the Irish Rover.
There was a newbie who could play tag [C] on his fiddle,
[G] and the ladies lined up [D] for us.
[G] He was too good a skill for his sparkling [C] potbelly,
[G] for the dancers [D] were flukers [G] and mess.
With his sparkling feet up, [D] he'd top up [G] the wall,
and he'd hold the [D] tables and all the [G] play-all kids,
and he'd buckle [C] his belt, [D] and he'd sit in the [G] aisle.

[G] There was a man, he was big, from the [C] banks of the [G] Lane,
and he was hogging for [D] jetties and all.
[G] There was a lady, my God, who was scared [C] stiff of war,
[G] and a man of [D] prowess made [G] for the lone.
There was a swimmer, also, [D] who was strong as a roe,
[G] fighting the [D] tricey for gold.
[G] And the other man, he was young, from [Em] the banks of the Pond,
[G] and the Irish Rover.
We had saved seven years when the meadows [C] broke [G] up,
and the ship lost its [D] way in the flood.
[G] And the play-all of the crew was a jest,
[C] and the tale [G] of 50 so [D] fine, the captain [G] so tough.
And the ship spoke a lot, [D] all the Irish,
[G] and the [D] swimmers cried all over.
[G] Turned nine times around, and the pearl [C] jug was drowned.
[G] And that's the Irish Rover.
