1. On the fourth of July eighteen hundred and six
         D             Bm                  A
    we set sail from the sweet Cobh of Cork,
      D                                           G  
    we were sailing away with a cargo of bricks
    D             A                D
    for the grand city hall in New York.

    'Twas a wonderful craft, she was rigged fore and aft,
             D                                   A
    and oh, how the wild wind drove her,
         D                                                                G  
    she could stand a great blast, she had twenty seven masts,
       D                   A      G
    and they called her the Irish Rover.

                     D                                                   G

       D                                    A
    seven million barrels of porter,
                    D                                                       G  
    we had eight million bales of old nanny goat tails
                 D                        A D
    in the hold of the Irish Rover.
