Dublin Lady lyrics

Song information

Artist: Andy M. Stewart
Album: Dublin Lady

Lyrics

It if wasn't for the ships that do sail, that do sail
It if wasn't for the ships that do sail
Dublin lady wouldn't have to sit alone upon her stool
It if wasn't for the ships that do sail

If it wasn't for the butter tubs and coal all in the hold
Dublin lady wouldn't have to spend her nights alone and cold

If it wasn't for the kegs of beer and cattle in the pen
Dublin lady wouldn't miss her sailor laddie now and then

If it wasn't for the irish sea so narrow with no reef
Dublin lady wouldn't have to sit and weep all in her grief

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
