1. Oh! My boat can safely float In the teeth of wind and weather And outrace the fastest hooker Between Galway and Kinsale; When the black floor of the ocean And the white foam rush together, High she rides, in her pride, Like a sea-gull through the gale. Refrain: Refrain: Oh she's neat! Oh she's sweet! She's a beauty in ev'ry line! The Queen of Connemara Is that bounding barque of mine.

2. When she's loaded down with fish Till the water lips the gunwale, Not a drop she'll take on board her That would wash a fly away; From the fleet she'll slip out swiftly like A greyhound from her kennel, And she'll land her silver store The first at ould Kinvara quay. Refrain: 3. There's a light shines out afar, And it keeps me from dismaying When the skies are ink above us And the sea runs white with foam, In a cot in Connemara There's a wife and wee one praying To the One who walked the waters once, To send us safely home. Refrain:
