Connemara Stone Company - Wings Of A Gull lyrics

rate me

Oh if I had the wings of a gull, me boys,

I would spread them and fly home.

I would leave old Greenland's icy ground,

For the right whale here is none.

Oh the weather's rough and the winds do blow,

And there's little comfort here.

And I'd sooner be snug in an Edinburgh pub

A-drinking of strong beer.

Oh, a man must be mad or he's wanting money bad

To adventure catching whales,

For he may be drowned when the fish he turns around

Or his head smashed in by the tail.

Oh the work seems grand to a young green hand

And his heart is high when he goes,

But in a very short burst he would sooner hear a curse

Than the cry of "There she blows!"
