Dublin Lady lyrics

DUBLIN LADY (Words and music by John Connolly, arr. Manus Lunny)

If it wasn`t for those ships that do sail, that do sail,
If it wasn`t for those ships that do sail
Dublin Lady wouldn`t have to sit alone upon her stool
If it wasn`t for those ships that do sail.

If it wasn`t for the butter tubs and coal all in the hold,
If it wasn`t for those ships that do sail,
Dublin Lady wouldn`t have to spend her nights alone and cold
If it wasn`t for those ships that do sail.

If it wasn`t for the kegs of beer and cattle in the pen,
If it wasn`t for those ships that do sail,
Dublin Lady wouldn`t miss her sailor laddie now and then
If it wasn`t for those ships that do sail.

If it wasn`t for the Irish Sea so narrow with no reef,
If it wasnt` for those ships that do sail,
Dublin Lady wouldn`t have to sit and weep all in her grief
If it wasn`t for those ships that do sail.

It`s because of the Irish Sea so narrow with no reef,
It`s because of those ships that do sail,
Dublin Lady has to sit and weep alone all in her grief,
It`s because of those ships that do sail
