    Imagine the titanic, now imagine one hundred such titanics.
    now, imagine those hundred titanics collide and mix into one, big ship, made of whiskey
    and there you have the Irish Rover.

      +Joseph Chervoni I had the same feeling. I imagine a "Gritty Reboot" trailer of this, where they're just absolutely incompetent and drunk, and the ship sinks in the harbor. As in... they never even left, they were that terrible. XD

    I like how many Irish folk songs refer back to the family McCann(from the banks of the Bann). Here it is Mick McCann and in for example Star of the County Down, they sing about Rosie McCann. And there are a couple more songs referring to this familyname :)

    found a calculation online working out the tonnage of cargo in the song, given that the biggest ship on the sea at the moment weighs 350,000 tons the irish rover with its cargo would have weighed 1,500,000 tonnes

    Can someone help to decipher the words being sung in the instrumental break from minute 2:30 to 2:45? it sounds like "gearrtha na mona mona " (which would be the Irish for cutting turf but I am not sure .. it sounds like a tune I've heard many times over the years and would like to know what it is - thanks to anyone who can help

The touching ceremony began when she walked down the aisle in her bridal gown on the arm of her father, and followed by her flower girls, her two younger twin sisters.
