Lyrics
Oh, my boat can safely float
In the teeth of wind and weather
And out-sail the fastest hooker
Between Galway and Kinsale
When the black floor of the ocean
And the white foam rush together
She will ride in her pride
Like a seagull in a gale
Oh, she's neat, oh, she's sweet
She's a beauty every line
The queen of Connemara
Is that bounding bar of mine
When she's loaded down with fish
Till the water lips her gunwale
Not a drop she'd take on board her
That would wash a fly away
From the fleet she slips out swiftly
Like a greyhound from her kennel
And she'll land her silvery store
The first in Galway bar
Oh, she's neat, oh, she's sweet
She's a beauty every line
The queen of Connemara
Is that bounding bar of mine
There's a light shines out afar
And it keeps me from dismay
When the skies are dark above us
And the seas roll white with foam
In a cot in Connemara
There's a wife and wee ones praying
To the one who walks the waters
Once to bring us safely home
Oh, she's neat, oh, she's sweet
She's a beauty every line
The queen of Connemara
Is that bounding bar of mine
Oh, she's neat, oh, she's sweet
She's a beauty every line
The queen of Connemara
Is that bounding bar of mine
