The Irish Rover
"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. Each successive verse is ever more malarkey 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) - 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.
