[Intro]

(4/4) (2/4)
[Verse 1]
On the CFourth of July, eighteen hundred and Fsix
We set Csail from the sweet Cobh of GCork
We were Csailing away with a cargo of Fbricks
For the CGrand City GHall in New CYork
‘Twas a Cwonderful craft, she was Grigged fore and aft
And Coh, how the wild wind Gdrove her
She stood Cseveral blasts, she had twenty seven Fmasts
And they Ccalled her The GIrish FRoCver
[Chorus]
We had Cone million bags of the best Sligo Frags
We had Ctwo million barrels of Gstones
We had Cthree million bails of old nanny-goats’ Ftails
We had Cfour million Gbarrels of Cbones
We had Cfive million hogs, Gsix million dogs
CSeven million barrels of Gporter
We had Ceight million sides of old blind horse’s Fhides
In the Chold of The GIrish FRoCver
[Verse 2]
There was CBarney McGee from the banks of the FLee
There was CHogan from County TyGrone
There was CJohnny McGurk, who was scared stiff of Fwork
And a Cman from WestGmeath called MaClone
There was CSlugger O’Toole, who was Gdrunk as a rule
And CFighting Bill Treacy from GDover
And your Cman, Mick MacCann, from the banks of the FBann
Was the Cskipper on The GIrish FRoCver
[Chorus]
We had Cone million bags of the best Sligo Frags
We had Ctwo million barrels of Gstones
We had Cthree million bails of old nanny-goats’ Ftails
We had Cfour million Gbarrels of Cbones
We had Cfive million hogs, Gsix million dogs
CSeven million barrels of Gporter
We had Ceight million sides of old blind horse’s Fhides
In the Chold of The GIrish FRoCver
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
We had Csailed seven years when the measles broke Fout
And the Cship lost its way in the Gfog
And that Cwhale of a crew was reduced down to Ftwo
Just myCself and the GCaptain’s old Cdog
Then the Cship struck a rock, oh GLord, what a shock
The Cbulkhead was turned right Gover ...
Turned Cnine times around, and the Ampoor old dog was Fdrowned ... one, two, three!
I’m the Clast of The Irish GRoCver
[Chorus]
We had Cone million bags of the best Sligo Frags
We had Ctwo million barrels of Gstones
We had Cthree million bails of old nanny-goats’ Ftails
We had Cfour million Gbarrels of Cbones
We had Cfive million hogs, Gsix million dogs
CSeven million barrels of Gporter
We had Ceight million sides of old blind horse’s Fhides
In the Chold of The GIrish FRoCver
