Connemara Cradle Song

A E The currachs are sailing way out on the blue A Laden with herring of silvery hue E Silver the herring and silver the sea A Soon there'll be silver for my love and me E Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind blow A Lean your head over and hear the wind blow E On wings of the wind, o'er the deep rolling sea A Angels are coming to watch over thee E Angels are coming to watch over thee A So hark to the winds coming over the sea E Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind blow A Lean your head over and hear the wind blow E Oh, winds of the night, may your fury be crossed A May no one that's dear to our island be lost E Blow the wind gently, calm be the foam A Shine the light brightly to guide us back home E Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind blow A Lean your head over and hear the wind blow E Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind blow A Lean your head over and hear the wind blow E The currachs are sailing out over the sea A Laden with herring for my love and me
