Dublin Fair The Ocean Lyrics

Let's take a drink for the ocean
and to all of you lassies we bid you farewell.

I am a doggie rover with a price upon my head,
so I joined aboard a skipper to see the world instead.
With the stormy seas around me and a albatross on high
I sailed from the prisons holes of London.
I've worked to a sweat in the rain and sun and snow
from the cold shores of Greenland to warm shores of Mexico.

Lets take a drink for the ocean
and one for the skipper of The Great America
Whisky galore for the ocean
and to all of you lassies we bid you farewell.

Many are the years now I have spent at sea
and plenty are the times I've cursed the life I've lived
standing on a ten hour watch in the stormy barren seas
I've longed for the prison holes of London.
I've worked to a sweat in the rain and sun and snow
from the cold shores of Greenland to warm shores of Mexico

Lets take a drink for the ocean
and one for the skipper of The Great America
Whisky galore for the ocean
and to all of you lassies we bid you farewell

While off the coast of Frisko my destiny I did meet
when a great big b_____ wave dig knock me of me feet
although I go to meet my death I'm happy that I'll die
away from the prison holes of London
I've worked to a sweat in the rain and sun and snow
from the cold shores of Greenland to warm shores of Mexico

Lets take a drink for the ocean
and one for the skipper of The Great America
Whisky galore for the ocean
and to all of you lassies we bid you
Lets take a drink for the ocean
and one for the skipper of The Great America
Whisky galore for the ocean
and to all of you lassies we bid you
Lets take a drink for the ocean
and one for the skipper of The Great America
Whisky galore for the ocean
and to all of you lassies we bid you farewell
