Paddy's Navy ----- Dermot Hegarty + Lyrics Underneath

Details

Description

A Chill Wind Blows Across The Sea,
From The Land Where I Was Born,
The Salt Spray On My Tear Stained Face,
As I Watched The Ships Lights Glow,

For Soon I'll Leave My Native Shore,
To Work In A Foreign Land,
I'm Joining Paddy's Navy,
To Become An Emigrant,

So Goodbye County Galway,
Goodbye County Clare,
God Bless You County Wicklow,
Kilkenny And Kildare,
I'll Dream About Killarney,
And My Beautiful Tralee,
While I've Joined In Paddy's Navy,
To Cross The Irish Sea,

The Time Has Come To Go On Board,
My Proud Heart Soon Will Break,
That Step From Ireland's Home Sweet Soil,
My Thoughts Can Never Take,

And Yet My Mothers Gentle Voice,
Speaks Softly In My Ear,
Saying Son You Must In You We Trust,
God Keep You Johnny Dear,

And Now Were Leaving Harbour,
We Crowd Around The Rail,
To Watch The Lights Of Ireland,
As Our Mournful Ship Sets Sail,

Tears Blind The Hopeless Vision,
Of Each Woman Child And Man,
They're All In Paddy's Navy,
Signed On As Emigrants,

So Goodbye County Galway,
Goodbye County Clare,
God Bless You County Wicklow,
Kilkenny And Kildare,
I'll Dream About Killarney,
And My Beautiful Tralee,
While I've Joined In Paddy's Navy,
To Cross The Irish Sea,

While I've Joined In Paddy's Navy,
To Cross The Irish Sea,
