Irish Rover

In the año of our Lord, eighteen hundred and six
We set sail from the fair hold at Cork
We were bound far away with a cargo of bricks
For the fine city hall of New York
And our very fine craft, she was rigged fore-and-aft
And oh, how the wild winds drove her.
She had twenty-three masts and withstood several blasts,
And we called her the Irish Rover

Where I'll Be

And I’m a little bit restless
Lock the door; I don’t hesitate
It’s all right and all right

It’s times like this that tu might say
That I’m a little bit crazy
Chasing everything away
That’s too bad

Sometimes I feel I can go nowhere
Just trapped inside of this world
I think I’m seeing something out there
Not just what I heard
