[Verse 1]
While goGin' for a stroll one fCine summer's eGve
My thirst I decided to quEmench
I raGmbled around 'till I caCme to the dGocks,
and a pub called the IDran WeGnch
When I stCepped through the door I saw a mDan on a stool
I mCan I'd seen neDver beEmfore
He had fiCstfuls of cash that he sDaid he had eaGrned,
While he saCiled around IrDeland's shGore
[Verse 2]
I orGdered a sup' and a sCup' for your mGan
And he told me strong tails with great pEmride
And I wGalked out the door with the coCurage of drGink
To sail on the nDext morning tGide
Well the suCmmer breeze took us fDar from the land
As we saCiled to the troDpical heEmat
When the caCptain roared, "Let the skDull and crossbones fGly,
and well hCunt down the adDmirals flGeet"
[Chorus]
I thought I'd sCearch the horizon
And sGail to the night 'till
I'm saDiling 'round Ireland's sGhore
GO-Oh
SaCiling 'round Ireland's
SaGiling 'round Ireland's
SaDiling 'round Ireland's sGhore
[Verse 3]
Well I thGought if i jumped I would drCown in this plGace
So I cheered with a grimacing fEmace
I sharGpened my blade like a mCan filled with hGate
And a scowling old sDea-dog's grGace
Well I cuCrsed on your drink though it dDoes make me think
Of poCetry and muDsic gaEmlore
But it evCens the score with a soDre headed rGoar
Far from saCiling round IrDeland's shGore
GO-Oh
SaCiling 'round Ireland's
SaGiling 'round Ireland's
SaDiling 'round Ireland's sGhore
[Verse 4]
From my eGvil company and bCooty in tGons
I snuck off while all were aEmsleep
Oh 'n GI stole a skiff with the stCealth of a gGhost
I filled it fDour chests dGeep
I saCiled along the coast 'till I hDid in a cave
By fCirelight my trDeasures to hEmoard
Where I drCeamed of a quest to reDturn finely drGessed
And to sCail around IrDeland's shGores
[Verse 5]
Well GI heard a voice
And it spCooked me for sGure
As it echoed all 'round the cEmave
It sGaid "I'm not dead and you'll pCay with your hGead
You scoundrel and diDrty kGnave"
It said "SChow me daylight, gDive me a fair fight,
Let me dCie by the sDword in a dEmuel
For I wCear on my chest not just the adDmiral's cGrest
But the HCigh King of IrDeland's crown jeGwels
[Chorus]
I thought I'd sCearch the horizon
And sGail to the night 'till
I'm saDiling 'round Ireland's sGhore
GO-Oh
SaCiling 'round Ireland's
SaGiling 'round Ireland's
SaDiling 'round Ireland's sGhore
[Chorus]
I thought I'd sCearch the horizon
And sGail to the night 'till
I'm saDiling 'round Ireland's sGhore
GO-Oh
SaCiling 'round Ireland's
SaGiling 'round Ireland's
SaDiling 'round Ireland's sGhore
