The Sea Around Us - Patsy Watchorn[00:00:00]
They say that the lakes[00:00:04]
Of Killarney are fair[00:00:05]
That no stream like[00:00:07]
The Liffey can ever compare [00:00:09]
If it's water you want [00:00:11]
You'll find nothing more rare[00:00:13]
Than the stuff they[00:00:15]
Make down by the ocean [00:00:16]
The sea oh the sea is[00:00:19]
The gradh geal more croide[00:00:21]
Long may it stay between England and me[00:00:23]
It's a sure guarantee[00:00:27]
That some hour we'll be free[00:00:28]
Oh thank God we're surrounded by water [00:00:30]
Tom Moore made his[00:00:34]
Waters meet fame and renown[00:00:36]
A great lover of anything[00:00:38]
Dressed in a crown[00:00:40]
In brandy the bandy old Saxon he'd drown[00:00:42]
But throw never a one in the ocean [00:00:46]
The sea oh the sea is[00:00:50]
The gradh geal more croide[00:00:52]
Long may it stay between England and me[00:00:54]
It's a sure guarantee[00:00:57]
That some hour we'll be free[00:00:59]
Oh thank God we're surrounded by water [00:01:01]
The Scots have their Whisky [00:01:05]
The Welsh have their speech[00:01:07]
And their poets are paid[00:01:09]
About ten pence a week[00:01:11]
Provided no hard words[00:01:13]
On England they speak[00:01:15]
Oh Lord what a price for devotion [00:01:17]
The Danes came to Ireland[00:01:20]
With nothing to do[00:01:22]
But dream of the[00:01:24]
Plundered old Irish they slew [00:01:25]
Yeh will in yer Vikings[00:01:28]
Said Brian Boru[00:01:30]
And threw them back into the ocean [00:01:32]
Two foreign old monarchs in battle did join[00:01:36]
Each wanting his head on the back of a coin;[00:01:39]
If the Irish had sense[00:01:43]
They'd drowned both in the Boyne[00:01:45]
And partition thrown into the ocean [00:01:47]
The sea oh the sea is[00:01:51]
The gradh geal more croide[00:01:53]
Long may it stay between England and me[00:01:55]
It's a sure guarantee[00:01:59]
That some hour we'll be free[00:02:00]
Oh thank God we're surrounded by water[00:02:02]
