"The Irish Rover" is an Irish folk song about a magnificent, though improbable, sailing ship that reaches an unfortunate end. It has been recorded by numerous artists, some of whom have made changes to the lyrics.
History
The song is attributed to songwriter/arranger J. M. Crofts in the 1966 publication, Walton's New Treasury of Irish Songs and Ballads 2.
The singer describes a gigantic twenty-seven masted ship with a colorful crew and varied types of cargo in enormous amounts. The verses grow successively more extravagant about the wonders of the great ship. The seven-year voyage comes to a disastrous end after losing its way in the fog, striking a rock, and spinning nine times around before sinking with most of the crew and the captain's old dog aboard – everyone except the singer, who in the last line of the song is revealed to be the lone survivor of The Irish Rover's ill-fated final voyage, so there is no one alive to contradict the tale.
From The Late Late Show - Tribute to The Dubliners March 1987
This is the first performance of their hit single - The Irish Rover which reached number 8 in the UK singles charts. It was Eamonn Campbell who came up with the idea to record a song with The Pogues for The Dubliners 25 Years Celebration album that he was producing at the time. It was Barney McKenna who thought of the song. One of the great collaborations.

Since 1962, The Dubliners have been enthralling audiences worldwide with their music and song. The strength and attractiveness of The Dubliners has always been in the personalities of the musicians who have made up this boisterous band of balladeers, from original members, Ronnie Drew, Barney McKenna, Luke Kelly, Ciarán Bourke, John Sheahan and Bob Lynch to the arrival at different stages of Jim McCann, Seán Cannon, Eamonn Campbell and finally the peerless Paddy Reilly.

The singer describes a gigantic twenty-seven masted ship with a colorful crew and varied types of cargo in enormous amounts.

The seven-year voyage comes to a disastrous end after losing its way in the fog, striking a rock, and spinning nine times around before sinking with most of the crew and the captain's old dog aboard – everyone except the singer, who in the last line of the song is revealed to be the lone survivor of The Irish Rover's ill-fated final voyage, so there is no one alive to contradict the tale.
Well on the Fourth of July 1806 We set sail from the sweet cove 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 for and aft And oh, how the wild wind drove her She stood several blasts, she had twenty-seven masts And they called her the Irish Rover Well we had one million bags of the best Sligo rags, We had two million barrels of stone We had three million bails of old nanny-goats' tails, We had four million barrels of bones We had five million hogs, and six million dogs, Seven million barrels of porter We had eight million bails of old nanny-goats' tails In the hold of the Irish Rover Well we had Barney McGee from the banks of the Lee, We had Hogan from County Tyrone And we had Jimmy McGurk who was scared stiff of work And a lad from Westmeath called Malone O we had Slugger O'Toole who was drunk as a rule And Fighting Bill Treacy from Dover And your man, Mike McCann from the banks of the Bann Was the skipper on the Irish Rover Well a sailor he longs for a better life It's so lonesome by night and by day And he longs for the shore and a charming young whore Who'll make all his troubles away All the noise and the rout All the whiskey and stout The fighting it's never over Of the love of a maid he is never afraid It's all for the Irish Rover We had sailed seven years when the measles broke out And the ship lost it's way in the fog And that whale of a crew was reduced down to two, Just meself and the Captain's old dog Then the ship struck a rock, Oh Lord! What a shock, The bulkhead was turned right over Well it turned nine times around And the poor old dog was drowned
