Leis a Lurrighan

trad. - irish

Am G
On the ocean o´he - Waves in motion o´ho
Am C Am
Not but clouds could we see - O´er the blue sea below.
G
Islay loomin´ o´he - In the gloamin´ o´ho
Am C Am
Our ship´s compass set we - And our lights we did show.
G
Leis a Lurrighan o´he - Leis a Lurrighan o´ho!
Am C Am
In the grey dark of evening - O´er the waves let us go!
G
Leis a Lurrighan o´he - Leis a Lurrighan o´ho!
Am C Am
In the grey dark of evening - O´er the waves let us go!
 
Aros passing o´he - Was harrassing o´ho, 
The proud billows to see - High as masthead to flow. 
Captain hollers o´he - To his fellows o´ho, 
Those that courage would flee - Let him go down below. 
Leis a Lurrighan o´he - Leis a Lurrighan o´ho! 
In the grey dark of evening - O´er the waves let us go! 
Leis a Lurrighan o´he - Leis a Lurrighan o´ho! 
In the grey dark of evening - O´er the waves let us go! 
 
In the tempest o´he - Waves were crashing o´ho, 
And the cry of the sea - As the cold winds did blow. 
Captain hollers o´he - To his fellows o´ho, 
Those that won´t stay with me - Let them go down below. 
Leis a Lurrighan o´he - Leis a Lurrighan o´ho! 
In the grey dark of evening - O´er the waves let us go! 
Leis a Lurrighan o´he - Leis a Lurrighan o´ho! 
In the grey dark of evening - O´er the waves let us go!
