Zarpamos da fria baía de CorkWe set sail from the cold bay of Cork
Estávamos navegando com uma carga de tijolosWe were sailing away with a cargo of bricks
Para a grande câmara municipal em Nova YorkFor the grand city hall in New York
Era uma embarcação maravilhosa, estava armada de proa a popaShe was a wonderful craft, she was rigged fore and aft
E oh, como os ventos fortes a empurravamAnd oh, how the wild winds drove her
Ela tinha várias velas, tinha 27 mastrosShe had several blasts, she had 27 masts
E a chamávamos de Irlandês RoverAnd we called her the Irish Rover

Ponte:Bridge:
Navegamos por sete anos quando a sarampo estourouWe had sailed seven years when the measles broke out
E o navio se perdeu na neblina (grande neblina!)And the ship lost its way in the fog (great fog!)
E a tripulação, que era enorme, ficou reduzida a doisAnd the whale of a crew was reduced down to two
Só eu e o velho cachorro do capitãoJust myself and the Captain's old dog
Então o navio bateu em uma rocha, oh Senhor, que choqueThen the ship struck a rock, oh Lord what a shock
O compartimento virou de ponta-cabeçaThe bulkhead turned right over
Virou nove vezes, e o pobre velho cachorro se afogouTurned nine times around, and the poor old dog was drowned
E eu sou o último do Irlandês RoverAnd I'm the last of the Irish Rover
