It if wasn't for the ships that do sail, that do sail,
|
It if wasn't for the ships that do sail,
|
Dublin Lady wouldn't have to sit alone upon her stool,
|
It if wasn't for the ships that do sail.
|
|
If it wasn't for the butter tubs and coal all in the hold,
|
Dublin Lady wouldn't have to spend her nights alone and cold,
|
|
If it wasn't for the kegs of beer and cattle in the pen,
|
Dublin Lady wouldn't miss her sailor laddie now and then,
|
|
If it wasn't for the Irish Sea so narrow with no reef,
|
Dublin Lady wouldn't have to sit and weep all in her grief,
|
|
It's because of the Irish Sea so narrow with no reef,
|
It's because of those ships that do sail,
|
Dublin Lady has to sit and weep alone all in her grief,
|
It's because of those ships that do sail.
