We sailed under stars on the night of Lughnasa
Let down our anchor at the harbour of Cork
The captain worked us to a sweat, let us drink into the night
Made haste on the road to the famous Crooked Fork
While drownin' in the ocean of whiskey and beer
Heard the fiddle and the flute so I took a deep swig
The crowd instantly parted like the sea in front of Moses
All eyes fell on a lass dancin' the Gallowglass Jig
Dance my dear
Like the raging seas
Sway my ship
Until the sun rises
Dance my dear
Spin like the wind
Like there was no tomorrow
And the end was near
Thighs uncovered by the movement of her skirt
Hands caressed her body like the waves of the sea
Another sip of whiskey calmed the heat in me heart
Sold my soul to the barrel and the devil set me free
That naughty look... hmm... the blazing inferno
Voluptuous curves were all around, I remember the night
The world began to shake on a dormant volcano
With a wicked smile and dazzling eyes she set us all on fire
Dance my dear
Like the raging seas
Sway my ship
Until the sun rises
Dance my dear
Spin like the wind
Like there was no tomorrow
And the end was near
