Lyrics:
We're leaving for Cobh in the morning We drink to remember We drink to forget We drink to put rest To the ghosts in our heads Who remind us of home As we
And leaving for Cobh in the morning We drink to remember We drink to forget We drink to put rest To the ghosts in our heads Who remind us of home As we sail
In the year of our Lord, eighteen hundred and six We set sail from the fair Cobh of Cork We were bound far away with a cargo of bricks For
Long before I was the man you see today And I was born beneath the star that promised all I could have lived my life between cork cobh and youghal But
make our fortunes Across the sea'. So Sean and me, and several hundred others Took ship from Cobh one cold November day, Leaving all that we had ever
the rest They send home the slates. It took six months from the Cobh, Another six by land, But the pay is good, And as I should I'll send home
of gold I've courted girls in Blarney In Ceann Toirc and Cill Airne In Passage and in Queenstown That is the Cobh of Corcaigh But goodbye to all that
The wind on my overcoat I felt our fingers intertwine Trip back from southern Cobh You took me for a 99 It starts to feel real again When I hold
Down Laundry Hill cll along Park Road There's a runway that takes you out of Cobh Sometimes when I play in the bars downtown Sat in the corner I see
time to set sail For a man with no friends or country So row and row, the ratlines are falling My god lads, the barrel's run dry And if we reach Cobh
on the Chicken's coop Awkward round byores I'm busy chattin' to crows I lost my virginity to a ghost in Cobh A bed of nettles is my mattress helps me embrace all
before I was the man you see today. I was born beneath the star that promised all I could live my life between cork cobh and youghal But the wheel
of gold" Now I've courted girls in Blarney In Kanturk and in Killarney In Passage and in Newport That's in the Cobh of Cork But enough now for me leisure
