Dublin Lady

Melody -

1. If it wasn't for the ships
That do sail, that do sail,
It if wasn't for the ships
that do sail.

2. Dublin Lady wouldn't have to sit
alone upon her stool,
If it wasn't for the ships
that do sail.

3. 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.
  4. 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.

5. 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.

6. It's because of the Irish Sea
So narrow with no reef,
It's because of those ships
That do sail.

7. Dublin Lady has to sit
and weep alone all in her grief,
It's because of those ships
That do sail.
