lyrics

Sail away to the shores of Amerikay
Tacking freedom bound from the bailiff and a crown
But we'll come around...
To our Donegal town!

When the whiskey is all water, and the beer doesn't flow,
I'll return to my country to the home that i know
Far across the oceans and beyond the mountains high
There's the land of my fathers, there's the Emerald Isle

Shore to shore 'till I can't sail no more

Sail away to the shores of Amerikay,
Lost and astray 'till we find a friendly quay
On our way
To the Donegal Bay

From the docks of New York city to the hot Jamaican sun
What my destiny denied me I have taken by the gun
Under Eagle and the Snake i have tried to hold the line
And so became a traitor to the country that's not mine

Blood and sand all across the Rio Grande

Sailed away from the shores of Amerikay
To a place where wind blows chill,
And the grindstone's never still
On that hill
In my Donegal mill

Day by day and sack by sack i mill my life away
Years slip away, all my kids are grown, my hair is turning gray
Sometimes late at night I leave the pub and go to the docks
And listen to the sound of the roaring waves smashing on the rocks

Wind and sea I will always be free!!!

Sailed away, away from this old bay
Lost and astray 'till we find a friendly quay
And stay away
From the Donegal bay

An album that originally I didn't take a liking to; until I heard the lyrics. It slowly has grown on me to the point where I have ordered the vinyl. Lovely way to remember those 100 years ago. Martin Flaherty
