(Francis A. Fahy)
Oh! My boat can
safely float in the teeth of wind and weather
And outrace the fastest hooker between Galway and
Kinsale;
When the black floor of the ocean and the white foam rush together,
High she
rides, in her pride, like a sea-gull through the gale.
cho: Oh she's neat! Oh she's
sweet! She's a beauty in ev'ry line!
The Queen of Connemara is that bounding barque of
mine.
When she's loaded down with fish till the water lips the gunwale,
Not a drop
she'll take on board her that would wash a fly away;
From the fleet she'll slip out swiftly
like a greyhound from her kennel,
And she'll land her silver store the first at ould Kinvara
quay.
cho:
There's a light shines out afar, and it keeps me from
dismaying
When the skies are ink above us and the sea runs white with foam,
In a cot in
Connemara there's a wife and wee one praying
To the One who walked the waters once, to send us
safely home.
cho:
