Queen of Connemara 

Lyrics courtesy of www.sailorsongs.com

Oh my boat can swiftly float
In the teeth of wind and weather
And out-sail the fastest hooker
Between Galway and Kinsale
When the white rim of the ocean
And the wild waves rush together
Oh she rides in her pride
Like a sea bird in a gale

CHORUS after each verse
She's neat oh she's sweet
She's a beauty in every line
The queen of Connemara
Is this bounding barque of mine

When she's loaded down with fish
Till the water lips the gunwale
Not a drop she'll take aboard her
That would wash a fly away
From the fleet she speeds out quickly
Like a greyhound from her kennel
Till she lands her silvery store
The first on old Kinvara Quay

There's light shines out afar
And it keeps me from dismaying
When the clouds are ink above us
And the sea runs white with foam
In a cot in Connemara
There's a wife and wee ones praying
To the One who walked the waters once
To bring us safely home
