All The Way To Galway

(albüm: First Night Back In Port - 2017)

If he ever reaches Galway
Not ever shall they part
He'll kiss the ground as if ever
He never signed no chart

They put me to work in the late dogs watch
(All the way to Galway, aye)
Our sails in rags 'bove a leaking hull
(All the way to Galway, aye)
Well the days are dull an' the nights are hard
(All the way to Galway, aye)
I was press ganged here against me will
(All the way to Galway, aye)
Me thoughts are elsewhere where the life is fair
(All the way to Galway, aye)

If he ever reaches Galway
Not ever shall they part
He'll kiss the ground as if ever
He never signed no chart

We steered our hooker into Galway bay
(All the way to Galway, aye)
I swept a few grogs at Monroe's Inn
(All the way to Galway, aye)
Then I took a piss at the gutter stones
(All the way to Galway, aye)
But I got a whack in my drunken head
(All the way to Galway, aye)
I got dragged right down to a navy ship
(All the way to Galway, aye)

If he ever reaches Galway
Not ever shall they part
He'll kiss the ground as if ever
He never signed no chart

They put me to work in the late dogs watch
(All the way to Galway, aye)
Our sails in rags 'bove a leaking hull
(All the way to Galway, aye)
Well the days are dull an' the nights are hard
(All the way to Galway, aye)
I was press ganged here against me will
(All the way to Galway, aye)
Me thoughts are elsewhere where the life is fair
(All the way to Galway, aye)

If he ever reaches Galway
Not ever shall they part
He'll kiss the ground as if ever
He never signed no chart

If he ever reaches Galway
Not ever shall they part
He'll kiss the ground as if ever
He never signed no chart

Far away from Galway, aye
