Oh Ireland by the sea

Oh Ireland by the sea

how lucky you are too be

dig a well on Sunday

and maybe one day

your luck will rub off on me

Oh Ireland by the sea

 bring my true love to me

by a rusty car or bus or train

o'er near the shore with wind and rain

'tis where he'll come to me

Oh Ireland by the sea

the journey is long you see

for in Ireland lies a long sojourn

on the path 'tis much to be for warned

to bring my true love to me

Oh Ireland by the sea

Will he ever come for me?

Tho the journey's long

I shall guide him along

with a tune and a tambourine

Oh Ireland by the sea

On the cliff of the Castle called sea

where I wait for the one who will be my love

when he comes on bended knee

Oh Ireland by the sea

with a claddagh ring on the foot of dove

that he brought as a present for me

'tis the perfect gift and symbol of love

and no more did I want from he

 for he is my one true love

I and him, him and me

Oh Ireland by the sea....
