The Irish Rover is an Ireland 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. The origins of the song are uncertain but it is usually attributed to a little known songwriter arranger named J.M. Crofts. Crofts is listed as the author in the 1966 publication, Walton s New Treasury of Irish Songs and Ballads 2. ref http www.telusplanet.net public prescotj data music fs in je.html ref Some of the lyrics have become corrupted over time. For example, the opening line of one of the verses is often presented as We had sailed seven years when the measles broke out . Measles is actually a corruption of mizzens, which refers to the third and smallest mast on a ship. Both measles and mizzens are now commonly used in versions by different performers. A recording of the Irish Rover by The Dubliners and The Pogues reached number 8 in the UK Singles Chart and number one in the Irish Singles Chart in 1987.
