None of them
A song originally by the Pogues, this is a version of the song the Irish rovers play In the G year of our Lord, eighteen hundred and Csix, We set G sail from the sweet cove of D Cork We were G sailing away with a cargo of C bricks For the G grand City Hall in New G York She was a G wonderful craft, she was D rigged 'fore and aft And how G the wild winds C drove her She 'stood G several blasts, she had Em twenty-three C masts And they G called her the C Irish Rover There was G Barney McGee from the banks of the C Lee There was G Hogan from County Ty-D-rone There was G Johnny McGurk who was scared stiff of C work And a G man from Westmeath called G Malone There was G Slugger O'Toole who was D drunk as a rule G And fighting Bill Tracy from D Dover And your G man Mick McCann, from the Em banks of the Bann Was the G skipper of the D Irish G Rover We had G one million bags of the best Sligo C rags We had G two million barrels of D stones We had G three million sides of old blind horses' C hides We had G four million D barrels of G bones We had G five million hogs and D six million dogs G And seven million barrels of D porter We had G eight million bales of old Em nanny goats' C tails In the G hold of the D Irish GRover We had G sailed seven years when the measles broke C out And our Gship lost her way in the D fog And the Gwhole of the crew was reduced down to C two 'Twas G meself and D the captain's old G dog Then the G ship struck a rock; oh Lord D what a shock GThe bulkhead was turned right D over We turned G nine times around - then Em the poor old dog was Cdrowned Now I'm Gthe last of the D Irish G Rover
