There were three old gypsies came to our hall door. They came brave and bold-ee-oh. And there's one sang high and the other sang low. And the lady sang the Raggle Taggle gypsie-oh.
Oh, you landsmen and you seamen come listen to my song.. It's of a trick was played on me, it won't delay you long.. I came from sea the other day a fair girl i did meet..
She'd never been there before. She'd never been there before. A young man asked her recently. To come and sit upon his knee. He tickled her in the ribs.
Take me back to my Western boat,. Let me fish off Cape St. Mary's,. Where the hagdowns sail and the foghorns wail,. With my friends the Browns and the Clearys,.
Its another day we go. sailing o're the blue. i look to the horizon. my thoughts drift home to you. . a young man only seventeen. adventure could'nt wait.
I wandered in time, till I found myself thinking. Of young children playing at the dawning of spring. They sang merry songs, like the wind in the willows.
In the chilly hours and minutes of uncertainty. I want to be. In the warm hold of your loving mind. To feel you all around me,. To take your hand along the sand.
Oh, the year was 1778, HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW!. A letter of marque come from the king,. To the scummiest vessel I'd ever seen,. . CHORUS:.
In the merry month of june, from me home I started. left the girls of Tuam, so sad and broken hearted. saluted father dear, kissed me darlin' mother. drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother,.
