Irish Folksongs - The boys of killybegs

Tekst :

There are wild and rocky hills on the coast of Donegal
And the fishermen are hearty, brave and free
and the big atlantic swell
is a thing they know right well
as they fight to make their living from the sea

Chorus:
With a pleasant rolling sea and the herring running free
and our ships all gliding Gently through the foam
when the boats are loaded down
there ll be singing in the town
when the boys of killybegs come rollin home

Now you re headed out to sea and the wind is blowing free
and you cast your nets as rain begins to fall
and the clouds are riding high and the wind will soon blow by
and today you ll amybe get your bumper haul

Chorus

Well the weather s very rough and the work gets plenty touth
and the ropes will raise the welts upon your hands
but you ll never leave the sea
for whoever you may be
when it s in your blood it s hard to live on land

Chorus

Now there s purple on the hills and there s green down by the shore
and the sun has cast it s gold upon the sea
and there s silver down below where the herring fishes go
if we catch them there ll be gold for you and me

    The pilgrim

    Beauty things sing to me
    As a chorus
    As a flock the wild seas
    Sway before us

    Hail as a hand is my mail
    The thrush is my love
    And the whale is a snail

    Sailors dance in a trance
    On the ocean
    Fairy lights in her eyes
    Tame the...

    Devil inside

    Too young to die, stop
    Flyin´ little child

    She never had a good life
    She never had a real home
    Living in the fast lane
    She´s got no clue ´bout
    What´s right or wrong

    She´s got no one
    But she doesn´t mind
    She´s getting´ high
    Drowning in a bottle
    Of wine

    She´s way too crazy
    So wild and crazy

    She looks like an angel
    She´s...

    Losing keys

    Don t worry
    Everybody in the room notices you
    Sit back and relax
    The night is early
    We are about to overdo it
    So come and tell me something that you ve already told me
    Cause everybody s heard our lovely stories
    I m hoping some of them are true

    I ve been losing lots of keys lately,

    Always come back to you

    I ve got no time to give
    Cause it s now or never
    Cause the way I feel
    It won t last forever
    When you re at that point in life
    It just has to be tonight

    But I ll always come back to you
    I don t know which way to...
