On the 4th of July
[C] 1806 [G] we said sail from the sweet home [D] apart
[G] We were sailing away with a car go a bricks for the Grand City Hall in New York
That's a wonderful crowd.

The [C]
[G] [D]
[G] [C] money
[G]
Before 6 million
And a whole of the Irish rover.
And he played hard [C] on his flute,
[G] When the ladies lined up for [D] a set.
He [G] was super skilled for his sparkling [C] quadril,
[G] And the dancers [D] were fluttered [G] and bet.
With his spag, with his cock, he would cock up the wall,
And he'd roll the dames under [D] and over,
[G] They all knew at a glance, when he took up [C] his stance,
[D] That he sailed in the [G] Irish rover.

There was Bernie McGee from the banks of [C] the Lae,
There [G] was Hogan from [D] Cuneita La.
[G] There was Johnny McGurk, who was scarce [C] to put work [G] on,
And a man [D] from Westmead [G] come along.
There was Slaughter Otter, that was drunk as a rooster,
Fighting Bill Chasey [D] from Dover.
[G] And him, from the banks [C] of the Ba,
[G] The skipper in the Irish rover.
For a sailor, it's always a bother [C] at night,
It's [G] so long come by night and [D] by day.
Then [G] he'd launch to the shore, and a pity [C] young hoar,
[G] Who will melt all his [D] troubles [G] away.
All the noise and the rout, full of pochina stout,
For him soon is done [D] and over.
[G] After love of a maid, he is never afraid,
That [D] I'll sail from the [G] Irish rover.
We had sailed seven years, when the breeze [C] was broken,
[G] And the ship lost its way [D] in the flood.
[G] And the whale of a crew, was reduced [C] down to two,
As [D] he slept and the captain's [G] old dog.
And the ship struck a rock, [D] for the heart of the ship,
[G]
But it was [D] turned all over.
T'was [G] turned nine times around,
And the poor old [C] dog was drowned,
[G]
In the Irish [Dm] [G] rover.
