Am
On the ocean o‘he
G
Waves in motion o‘ho
Am
Not but clouds could we see
C Am
O’er the blue sea below
Am
Islay loomin‘ o‘he
G
In the gloAmin‘ o‘ho
Am
Our ship’s compass set we
C Am
And our lights we did show
Am
Leis a Lurrighan o`he
G
Leis a Lurrighan o`ho
Am
In the grey dark of evening
C Am
O’er the waves let us go
Am
Aros passing o‘he
G
Was harrassing o‘ho
Am
The proud belows to see
C Am
High as masthead to flow
Am
Captain hollers o‘he
G
To his fellows o‘ho
Am
Those that courage would flee
C Am
Let him go down below
Am
Leis a Lurrighan o`he
G
Leis a Lurrighan o`ho
Am
In the grey dark of evening
C Am
O’er the waves let us go
Am
In the tempest o‘he
G
Waves were crashing o‘ho
Am
And the cry of the sea
C Am
As the cold winds did blow
Am
Captain hollers o‘he
G
To his fellows o‘ho
Am
Those that won’t stay with me
C Am
Let them go down below
Am
Leis a Lurrighan o`he
G
Leis a Lurrighan o`ho
Am
In the grey dark of evening
C Am
O’er the waves let us go
