Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Illegal Cargo in the Irish Rover
The only other one I can think of is (you may already have):
For a sailor it's always a bother in life
It's so lonesome by night and by day
Set him on a southern shore with a charming young whore
Who will melt all his troubles away

All the noise and the rout with the porter and stout
For him soon it's done and it's over;
For the love of a maid he is never afraid
An old salt from the Irish Rover
