Sails she swiftly from the harbour

          C        F
Fa-la-lee-ho fa-la-lee

Like a lone gull before the storm winds

Fa-la-lee-ho fa-la-lee

Kismuils' galley goes a-reiving

          Dm         F      C
Sails she swiftly to Isla's shore

            F
To isles of daring o' deeds and laughter

          C        F
Fa-la-lee-ho fa-la-lee

Through the moonlight she lays her coursing

          C        F

Fa-la-lee-ho fa-la-lee

Spoils of glory is her venture

On through Mulla to fair, green Isla

Fa-la-lee-ho fa-la-lee

Turns she homeward through dancing sunlight

          C        F
Fa-la-lee-ho fa-la-lee

From soft green southland to northern dark night

Fa-la-lee-ho fa-la-lee

         Dm                F
Scars of battle are on her timbers

          Dm         F      C
Grain and cattle for hungry homes

         F
Hardy winter's toll avoided

Fa-la-lee-ho fa-la-lee

F
Now the harpist weaves his story

Kismuil's galley safely home now

           Dm     F      C
Sleeps she softly like a swan

No dreams of war now her wings are folded

Fa-la-lee-ho fa-la-lee

Fa-la-lee-ho fa-la-lee
