Irish Descendants Go To Sea No More
Its another day we go
sailing o're the blue
i look to the horizon
my thoughts drift home to you
a young man only seventeen
adventure could'nt wait
set sail from home on a fishing ship
bound for the boston state
i shipped out on a glouster smack
and fished the georges bank
the work was hard
and the wages fare
to the good lord i gave thanks
although ive had a good life
as good as any man
if i could change the course of time
id live in my home land
chorus:
My thoughts are always with you
have you changed since ive been gone
oh how i long to see you
the time has been so long
if i could get just one more chance
to walk your rugged shore
id train the life i chose to make
and go to sea no more
last night as i lay dreaming
i sailed the raging foam
my ship she took me far away
to the rocky shores of home
and i could write a thousand lines
to say just how i feel
i hope and pray that some fine day
my dreams they can be real
Chorus: repeat 2 times
id train the life i chose to make
and go to sea no more
