Biografia:
A popular and long-running Canadian-Irish folk group that saw their beginning in the 1960s, The Irish Rovers are particularly well-known for their hit recording of Shel Silverstein's "The Unicorn," although a great many more of their characteristically happy and oft-comical songs remain well-known to this day. In 2010, the band celebrated 45 years as recording artists, with their latest CD, "Gracehill Fair" and filming the DVD/television special "Home in Ireland", shot entirely on-location, throughout the northwest coast of Ireland.

[Verse]
G C
In the year of our Lord, eighteen hundred and six,
G D
We set sail from the sweet cove of Cork
G C
We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks
G G
For the grand City Hall in New York
G D
She was a wonderful craft, she was rigged 'fore and aft
G C
And how the wild winds drove her
G Em C
She 'stood several blasts, she had twenty-three masts
G C
And they called her the Irish Rover
G C
There was Barney McGee from the banks of the Lee
G D
There was Hogan from County Tyrone
G C
There was Johnny McGurk who was scared stiff of work
G G
And a man from Westmeath called Malone
G D
There was Slugger O'Toole who was drunk as a rule
G D
And fighting Bill Tracy from Dover
G Em
And your man Mick McCann, from the banks of the Bann
G D G
Was the skipper of the Irish Rover
G C
We had one million bags of the best Sligo ags
G D
We had two million barrels of stones
G C
We had three million sides of old blind horses' hides
G D G
We had four million barrels of bones
G D
We had five million hogs and six million dogs
G D
And seven million barrels of porter
G Em C
We had eight million bales of old nanny goats' tails
G D G
In the hold of the Irish Rover
G C
We had sailed seven years when the measles broke out
G D
And our ship lost her way in the fog
G C
And the whole of the crew was reduced down to two
G D G
'Twas meself and the captain's old dog
G D
Then the ship struck a rock; oh Lord what a shock
G D
The bulkhead was turned right over
G Em C
We turned nine times around - then the poor old dog was drowned
G D G
Now I'm the last of the Irish Rover
