The Sea Around Us – Traditional Irish
Tab’d by wompton
(*gradh geal mo croide* - Old Irish Phrase that is something like "Great love of my heart")
[VERSE 1]
They Dsay that the lakes of KiAllarney are fair
That no stream like the Liffey can Gever comApare,
If it's Dwater you want, you'll find Anothing more rare
Than the stuff they make Gdown by Athe Docean.
[CHORUS]
The Dsea, oh the sea is the Ggradh geal mo Dcroide*
ALong may it roam between GEngland and Ame
It's Da sure guarantee that some Ahour we'll be free
Oh, thank God we're surGrounded Aby Dwater.
[VERSE 2]
Tom DMoore made his "Waters" meet Afame and renown
A great lover of anything Gdressed in a Acrown
In Dbrandy the bandy old ASaxon he'd drown
But throw ne'er a Gdrop inA theD ocean.
[CHORUS]
The Dsea, oh the sea is the Ggradh geal mo Dcroide*
ALong may it roam between GEngland and Ame
It's Da sure guarantee that some Ahour we'll be free
Oh, thank God we're surGrounded Aby Dwater.
[VERSE 3]
The DScots have their Whisky, the AWelch have their speech
And their poets are paid about Gtenpence a Aweek
ProDvided no hard words on AEngland they speak
Oh Lord, what a Gprice for AdevDotion.
[CHORUS]
The Dsea, oh the sea is the Ggradh geal mo Dcroide*
ALong may it roam between GEngland and Ame
It's Da sure guarantee that some Ahour we'll be free
Oh, thank God we're surGrounded Aby Dwater.
[VERSE 4]
The DDanes came to Ireland with Anothing to do
But dream of the plundered old GIrish they Aslew,
"Yeh Dwill in yer vikings" said ABrian Boru
And threw them back Ginto Athe Docean.
[CHORUS]
The Dsea, oh the sea is the Ggradh geal mo Dcroide*
ALong may it roam between GEngland and Ame
It's Da sure guarantee that some Ahour we'll be free
Oh, thank God we're surGrounded Aby Dwater.
[VERSE 5]
Two Dforeign old monarchs in Abattle did join
Each wanting his head on the Gback of a Acoin
If the DIrish had sense they'd drowned Aboth in the Boyne
And partition thrown Ginto Athe Docean.
[CHORUS]
The Dsea, oh the sea is the Ggradh geal mo Dcroide*
ALong may it roam between GEngland and Ame
It's Da sure guarantee that some Ahour we'll be free
Oh, thank God we're surGrounded Aby Dwater.
Oh, thank AGod we're surGrounded Aby Dwater.
