Irish Song Lyrics 
from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
On The Sea 
Under the skies of the Southern Cross The sails are swelling in the breeze, Where skims the broad-winged albatross Above the rushing, sparkling seas. Gaily, dancing, on we go, O´er the blue waves tinged with creamy foam, Like mountains capped with dazzling snow, So far from Erin - far from home! 
Through sunny, breezy Capricorn The sweet airs freshly round us play; We seek the fair and distant bourne, Thus dancing onward, wild and gay. With speed of sea-bird´s pinions light The good ship hurries through the foam, As if we swept not in our flight Far, far from Erin - far from home!
