Ships in full Sail The bright sun a-shining and blue skies a-pining For the want of some clouds or some ornamentation The heathers a-blazing and cows are a-gazing As I sit on the hill overlooking the bay Chorus: There out on the ocean the ships are in motion From Killybegs harbour right down to Kinsale Down in the harbour the crowds they have gathered To watch the winds blowing the ships in full sail Some then sail for pleasure and others for treasure And some do the wishin and some are the fishermen But what e'er your making you'll need no awaking To the dangers involved for the ships on the sea Chorus The seagulls are squawking they seem to be talking Of this grandorous sight which seems oh so leisurely In summer it's pleasing but in winter it's teasing And storms will be blowing the ships in the sea Chorus (twice) -- Posted by Thanks for posting this!
