Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh! My boat can safely float in the teeth of wind and weather
\nAnd outrace the fastest hooker between Galway and Kinsale
\nWhen the black floor of the ocean and the white foam rush together
\nHigh she rides, in her pride, like a sea-gull through the gale<\/p>\n

Chorus
\nOh she’s neat! Oh she’s sweet! She’s a beauty in ev’ry line!
\nThe Queen of Connemara is that bounding barque of mine
\nWhen she’s loaded down with fish till the water lips the gunwale
\nNot a drop she’ll take on board her that would wash a fly away;
\nFrom the fleet she’ll slip out swiftly like a greyhound from her kennel
\nAnd she’ll land her silver store the first at ould Kinvara quay<\/p>\n

There’s a light shines out afar, and it keeps me from dismaying
\nWhen the skies are ink above us and the sea runs white with foam
\nIn a cot in Connemara there’s a wife and wee one praying
\nTo the One who walked the waters once, to send us safely home<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
