 Jatorrizko hitzak 

In the year of our Lord, eighteen hundred and six,
We set sail from the sweet Cobh of Cork
We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks
For the grand City Hall in New York
'Twas a wonderful craft, she was rigged 'fore and aft
And how the wild winds drove her
She 'stood several blasts, she had twenty-seven masts
And they called her the Irish Rover

There was Barney McGee from the banks of the Lee
There was Hogan from County Tyrone
There was Johnny McGurk who was scared stiff of work
And a man from Westmeath called Malone
There was Slugger O'Toole who was drunk as a rule
And fighting Bill Tracy from Dover
And your man Mick McCann, from the banks of the Bann
Was the skipper on the Irish Rover

We had one million bags of the best Sligo rags
We had two million barrels of stones
We had three million sides of old blind horses' hides
We had four million barrels of bones
We had five million hogs and six million dogs
And seven million barrels of porter
We had eight million bales of old nanny goats' tails
In the hold of the Irish Rover

We had sailed seven years when the measles broke out
And our ship lost her way in the fog
And the whole of the crew was reduced down to two
 'Twas meself and the captain's old dog
Then the ship struck a rock; oh Lord what a shock
The bulkhead was turned right over
We turned nine times around - then the poor old dog was drowned
Now I'm the last of the Irish Rover

 The Pogues ft. The Dubliners lyrics 

On the Fourth of July, eighteen hundred and six
We set sail from the sweet Cobh of Cork
We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks
For the Grand City Hall in New York
Twas a wonderful craftShe was rigged fore and aftAnd oh, how the wild wind drove herShe stood several blastsShe had twenty seven mastsAnd they called her The Irish RoverWe had one million bags of the best Sligo ragsWe had two million barrels of stoneWe had three million sides of old blind horses hidesWe had four million barrels of bonesWe had five million hogsAnd six million dogsSeven million barrels of porterWe had eight million bails of old nanny-goats' tailsIn the hold of the Irish RoverThere was awl Mickey CooteWho played hard on his fluteWhen the ladies lined up for a setHe was tootin' with skillFor each sparkling quadrilleThough the dancers were fluther'd and betWith his smart witty talkHe was cock of the walkAnd he rolled the dames under and overThey all knew at a glanceWhen he took up his stanceThat he sailed in The Irish RoverThere was Barney McGeeFrom the banks of the LeeThere was Hogan from County TyroneThere was Johnny McGurkWho was scared stiff of workAnd a man from Westmeath called MaloneThere was Slugger O'TooleWho was drunk as a ruleAnd Fighting Bill Treacy from DoverAnd your man, Mick MacCannFrom the banks of the BannWas the skipper of the Irish RoverFor a sailor it's always a bother in lifeIt's so lonesome by night and dayThat he longs for the shoreAnd a charming young whoreWho will melt all his troubles awayOh, the noise and the routSwillin' poitin and stoutFor him soon the torment's overOf the love of a maidHe is never afraidAn old salt from the Irish RoverWe had sailed seven yearsWhen the measles broke outAnd the ship lost its way in the fogAnd that whale of a crewWas reduced down to twoJust myself and the Captain's old dogThen the ship struck a rockOh Lord what a shockThe bulkhead was turned right overTurned nine times aroundAnd the poor old dog was drownedI'm the last of The Irish Rover|Gure jaunaren urtean, mila zortzireun eta sei,Corkeko Cobh goxotik itsasoratu ginenAdreilu zama batekin nabigatzen genuenNew Yorkeko City Hall handirantz'''Belaontzi bikaina zen, popatik brankara prestuta zegoen
Eta haizeak nola gidatzen zuen
Hainbat masta bazituen, hogeitazazpi masta zituen
Eta Irlandar Ibiltaria deitzen zuten

Leeko baizadietako Barney McGee zegoen
Tyroneko Hogan zegoen
Johnny McGurk zegoen lanerako beti prest
Eta Westmeathko Malone izeneko gizon bat bazen
Slugger O'Toole zegoen beti bezain mozkor
Eta Dovereko Bill Tracy borrokalaria
Eta zure gizona den Mick McCann, Banneko baizadietakoa
Irlandar Ibiltariko kapitaina zena

Sligoko trapu zahar hoberenez beteriko milioi bat poltsa zituen
Harriz beteriko bi milioi kupel genituen
Zaldi zahar itxuen hiru milioi okel zati gordeta genituen
Hezurrez beteriko lau milioi kupel genituen
Bost milioi urde eta sei milioi txakur
Eta zazpi milioi garagardo kupel
Ahuntz zaharren isatsekin eginiriko zortzi milioi bala genituen
Irilandar Ibiltariaren biltegietan

Zazpi urtetan zehar nabigatu genuean elgorria agertu zenean
Eta gure itsasontzia laino artean galdu zen
Eta tripulazio osoa bi kidetara murriztu zen
Neroni eta kapitainaren txakur zaharra
Orduan itsasuntziak haitz bat jo zuen; Ene jainkoa zer bihotzondokoa
Ontzi-kaskoa eskubiruntz eskoratu zen
Bederatzi alditan bira eman genuen - orduantxe txakur gaixoa ito zen
Eta orain Irlandar Ibiltariaren azkena naiz

Uztaileko laugarrenean, mila zortzireun eta seian
Corkeko Cobh gosotik itsasoratu ginen

Azken aurreko bertsoa "nahiko" lizuna edo desegokia denez ohiko musika bildumetatik hat utzi ohi da.
