Born as the Victim Of Geography 1000 miles behind & far away from Ireland, with human & emigration rights denied by both the bloody 3rd world & Irish government, this 1 rebel In 3rd world’s chains is betrayed and forgotten, long time awaiting freedom and move home towards Republic Of Ireland. Born ‘n’ doomed by the many hells of the 3rd world, the path of Irish Rover’s life and music is one paved with pain, misery and everlasting dream of breaking free, reaching the freedom of the civilized world and bringing the music of essence, attitude and furious devotion to where it truly belongs. Unlike the one too many pagan celtic boys' bands & their poseurs masses of fans, it was never about cheers, beers & fucking football for Irish Rover. Irish Rover speaks & sings against the system ! Original Irish Rover music is rooted in rebellion, anti-governmental, anti-corporate, anti-police stance, anarchy, human & animal liberation, Christian & Vegan attitude, all seen through eyes of a homeless outcast immigrant. Once in Ireland, Irish Rover is seeking to gather the hardcore backing band of like-minded musicians. Led by Irish Rover - Rover MacChroí, Irish Rover And The Crew is bound to become the No.1 Anti-System Irish punk band in Ireland & worldwide. Until then - rebel, bring back the good old rebel spirit back to Ireland. Never sell out, never compromise - Irish Punk's Not Dead.

There was Bobby McGee from the banks of the Leith.
There was Hogan from county Tyrone.
There was John D. McGirk, who was scared stiff of work,
And a chap from Westmeath named Malone.

There was Slugger O'Toole, who was drunk as a rule,
And Fighting Bill Tracy from Dover,
And a man, Mick McCann, from the banks of the Bann
Was the skipper of the Irish Rover.

I somehow came across this song, it's amazing. It's so interesting to learn about different cultures through music while high. Have a nice day and good mood everyone.

I own a Groverbuilt boat. She is a small downeaster style craft made in small numbers by a local legend. The builder is quite the legend locally as he went down in the Guinness Book for piloting the smallest craft (26 feet) ever across the Atlantic. So when I finally became old enough to purchase one of these legendary vessels, I felt it only fitting to name her "The Irish Grover".

Funny little song that points out one of life's hard facts-being Irish is often a drag. I know this from personal experience.
