|
On the ocean o'he |
|
Waves in motion o'ho |
|
Not but clouds could we see |
|
O'er the blue sea below |
|
Islay looming o'he |
|
In the gloaming o'ho |
|
Our ship's compass set we |
|
And our lights we did show |
|
Leis a lurighan o'he |
|
Leis a lurighan oh'o |
|
In the grey dark of evening |
|
O'er the waves let us go |
|
Aros passing o'he |
|
Was harassing o'ho |
|
The proud billows to see |
|
High as masthead to flow |
|
Captain hollers o'he |
|
To his fellows o'ho |
|
Those that courage would flee |
|
Let him go down below |
|
Leis a lurighan o'he |
|
Leis a lurighan oh'o |
|
In the grey dark of evening |
|
O'er the waves let us go |
|
In the tempest o'he |
|
Waves were crashing o'ho |
|
And the cry of the sea |
|
As the cold winds did blow |
|
Captain hollers o'he |
|
To his fellows o'ho |
|
Those that won't stand with me |
|
Let them go down below |
|
Leis a lurighan o'he |
|
Leis a lurighan oh'o |
|
In the grey dark of evening |
|
O'er the waves let us go |
