Irish Rover
Lyrics courtesy of www.sailorsongs.com
A D
In the year of Our Lord eighteen hundred and six
In the year of Our Lord eighteen hundred and six
A E7
We set sail for the coal quay of Cork
We set sail for the coal quay of Cork
A D
We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks
We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks
A E7 A
For the grand city hall in New York
For the grand city hall in New York
A E7
We’d an elegant craft it was rigged fore and aft
We’d an elegant craft it was rigged fore and aft
A E7
And how the trade winds dro---ove her
And how the trade winds dro---ove her
A D
She had twenty –three masts and she stood several blasts
She had twenty –three masts and she stood several blasts
A E7 A
And they called her the Irish Ro - ver...
And they called her the Irish Ro - ver...
