Here be a song for the late dog watch
Our sails in rags 'bove a leakin hull
Well the days are dull an' the nights are hard
I was press gangred here against me will
Me thoughts are elsewhere where the life is fair
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 leakin' 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 leakin' 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
