They say that the lakes of
Killarney are fair
No stream like the
Liffey could ever compare
If it's water you want you'll
find nothing so rare
As the stuff that's laid
down by the ocean
The sea o 'er the sea is
Crogall
Mow
Cree
Long may it roll between
England and me
It's a sure guarantee that
somehow we'll be free
Thank
God we're surrounded by water
Tom
Moore made his waters
meet fame and renown
A great lover of anything
dressed in a crown
With
Brandy the bandy of
Saxon he'd drown,
And thrown ere a drop in the ocean.
The
Sea of the
Seas, frog young and free,
Long may it roll between
England and me,
It's a sure guarantee that
somehow we'll be free,
Like
God we're surrounded by water.
Now the
Scots have their whisky, the
Welsh have their leeks
Their poets are paid about
ten pounds a week
Provided no harsh words on
England they speak
Oh
Lord, what a price for devotion
The
Sea of the
Seas, brag and all breathe
Long may it roll between
England and me
It's a sure guarantee that
somehow we'll be free
Thank
God we're surrounded by water
Two foreign old monarchs
in battle did join
Each wanted his head on the back of a coin
If the
Irish had sense they'd
drown both in the bine
And partitioned, thrown into the ocean
The sea, o 'er the sea,
is grog and the cree
Long may it row between
England and me
It's a sure guarantee that
somehow we'll be free
Thank
God we're surrounded by water
Now the
Danes came to
Ireland with nothing to do
But their aim of the plunder, now
Irish they slew
Well, you will in your hikin', says
Brian
Borough,
And he threw them back
into the ocean
The
Sea of the
Seas,
Grog
Elm
Creek
Long may it roll between
England and me
It's a sure guarantee that
somehow we'll be free
Thank
God we're surrounded by water
The sea, 'er the sea, is froggy and free
Long may it roll between
England and me
It's a sure guarantee that
somehow we'll be free
Thank
God we're surrounded by water
