| [00:01.63] |
While I going for a stroll one summer s eve |
| [00:05.45] |
My thirst I decided to quench |
| [00:09.14] |
I rambled around 'till I came to the docks, and a pub called the Iran Wench |
| [00:17.04] |
When I stepped through the door I saw a man on a stool |
| [00:21.04] |
A man I'd seen never before |
| [00:25.01] |
He had fistfuls of cash that he said he had earned, |
| [00:28.65] |
While he sailed around Ireland's shore |
| [00:32.67] |
I ordered a sup' and a sup' for you man |
| [00:36.52] |
And he told me strong tales with great pride |
| [00:40.25] |
And I walked out the door with the courage of drink |
| [00:44.34] |
To sail on the next morning tide |
| [00:48.02] |
Well the summer breeze took us far from the land |
| [00:52.06] |
As we sailed to the tropical heat |
| [00:55.75] |
When the captain roared, |
| [00:57.55] |
"Let the skull and crossbones fly, and well hunt down the admirals fleet" |
| [01:03.25] |
I thought I'd search the horizon |
| [01:05.75] |
And sail to the night 'till |
| [01:07.56] |
I'm sailing 'round Ireland's shore |
| [01:10.41] |
0-0h |
| [01:11.47] |
Sailing 'round Ireland's |
| [01:13.38] |
Sailing 'round Ireland's |
| [01:15.37] |
Sailing 'round Ireland's shore |
| [01:24.78] |
Well I thought if i jumped I would drown in this place |
| [01:28.71] |
So I cheered with a grimacing face |
| [01:32.76] |
I sharpened my blade like a man filled with hate |
| [01:36.60] |
And a starling old sea-dog's grace |
| [01:40.49] |
Well I cursed on your drink though it does make me think |
| [01:44.23] |
Of poetry and music galore |
| [01:47.90] |
But it evens the score with a sore headed roar |
| [01:51.76] |
Far from sailing round Ireland's shore |
| [01:55.09] |

Sailing 'round Ireland's |

Sailing 'round Ireland's shore |
| [02:09.20] |
From my evil company |
| [02:11.01] |
And booty in tons |
| [02:13.42] |
I snuck off while all were asleep |
| [02:16.73] |
Oh 'n I stole a skiff with the stealth of a ghost |
| [02:21.01] |
I filled it four chests deep |
| [02:24.98] |
I sailed along the coast 'till I hid in a cave |
| [02:28.81] |
By firelight my treasures to hide |
| [02:32.44] |
Where I dreamed of a quest to return finely dressed |
| [02:36.27] |
And to sail around Ireland's shores |
| [02:40.49] |
Well I heard a voice |
| [02:42.55] |
And it spooked me for sure |
| [02:44.43] |
As it echoed all 'round the cave |
| [02:48.06] |
It said "I'm not dead and you'll pay with your head |
| [02:52.10] |
You scoundrel and dirty knave" |
| [02:55.84] |
It said "Show me daylight, give me a fair fight, |
| [02:59.42] |
Let me die by the sword in a duel |
| [03:03.56] |
For I wear on my chest not just the admiral's crest |
| [03:07.17] |
But the hiding of Ireland's crown jewels |
| [03:13.03] |
I thought I'd search the horizon |
| [03:15.35] |
And sail to the night 'till |
| [03:17.24] |
I'm sailing 'round Ireland's shore |
| [03:20.19] |

And sail to the night 'till |

I'm sailing 'round Ireland's shore |
