'The Irish Rover - The Dubliners & The Pogues'

youtube

A classic if ever there was one 😊

--

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 fore 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

We had one million bags of the best Sligo Rags

We had two million barrels of stone

We had three million sides of old blind horses hides

We had four million barrels of bones

We had five million hogs

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

There was ol' Mickey Coote

Who played hard on his flute

When the ladies lined up for a set

He was tootin' with skill

For each sparkling quadrille

Though the dancers were fluther'd and bet

With his smart witty talk

He was cock of the walk

And he rolled the dames under and over

They all knew at a glance

When he took up his stance

That he sailed in 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 Treacy from Dover

And your man, Mick MacCann

From the banks of the Bann

Was the skipper on The Irish Rover

For the sailor it's always a bother in life

It's so lonesome by night and by day

That he longs for the shore

And a charming young whore

Who will melt all his troubles away

Oh, the noise and the rout

Swillin' poitin and stout

For him soon the torment's over

Of the love of a maid, he is never afraid

That old salt from The Irish Rover

We had sailed seven years

When the measles broke out

And the ship lost its way in the fog

And that whale of a crew

Was reduced down to two

Just myself and the Captain's old dog

Then the ship struck a rock

Oh Lord, what a shock

The bulkhead was turned right over

Turned nine times around

And the poor old dog was drowned

And the last of The Irish Rover

just mechanisms fan problems: my dad put on an album of irish folk songs and i had to figure out how to tell him "oh yeah, so i actually know the tune of this one! but in the version i know, the lyrics are about... the holy grail. but in space. and sad."

#personal #shitpost #the mechs #the mechanisms #mechanisms #mechs #props if you know the mechs song without my naming it #double props if you know the origin tune without my naming it #(that's really the harder one the mechs song there's only so many options)#(would it help if i said the album was by the irish rovers?)

The Day After... Everyone is Irish

Weiss was trying to talk with Pyrrha as the Mistralian Champion waited outside JNPR and RWBY's dorms for the return of her partner, and his sister.

Apparently even though their name was Valian in origin, the pair of fraternal twins through their mother's side was predisposed to celebrate the 17th of the third month...

Pyrrha: I'm sorry, but...

Weiss: Are you worried about that dol... I'm mean Jaune and his sister? They are old enough to take care of themselves.

Pyrrha: But they've been gone since yesterday morning. I'm wo...

Jaune/Joan: (drunkenly singing... LOUDLY) What will we do with a drunken sailor? What will we do with a drunken sailor? What will we do with a drunken sailor? Early in the morning!

Pyrrha: Jaune? Joan?

Weiss : are... are they STILL DRINKING?!?

Jaune and Joan stumbled about arms over each other's shoulders, each holding a bottle of... something... probably highly alcoholic
