lyrics

Ohh Erin when I courted thee and the storm rose up on the sea,
and the waves that did swell over you and me.
Ohh Erin when I courted thee and the storm rose up on the sea,
and I held you in your eyes, eyes of deepest green.

Held you in your eyes, eyes of deepest green.

Ohh Erin with eyes of green while we lay as lovers I proposed to thee,
that together we could run away and find a place to marry.
ohh Erin when you’d run with me,
except for your father who says I’m a thief,
and he rages hateful prayers in his righteous robes as the priest.

In his righteous robes as the priest.

But if we’re going down, down, down, I’m glad it’s you and me
But if we’re going down, down, down, I’m glad it’s you and me

Ohh erin when I courted thee
and the rage of the priest rose a storm on the sea,
and the waves they did swell over you and me.
ohh erin when I courted thee, from your fathers town we would flee,
with your eyes of the forest and mine at one with the sea.

with your eyes of the forest, and mine at one with the sea.

ohh erin when I courted thee and the storm rose up on the sea,
in the waves that did swell over you and me
ohh erin when they look out on the sea but we’re too far gone to see,
and a hope within a doubt weighs heavy upon the priest.

a hope within a doubt weighs down the guilty priest.

But if we’re going down, down, down, I’m glad it’s you and me
But if we’re going down, down, down, I’m glad it’s you and me
In the swell of your eyes of green and mine at one with the sea
Swallowed in your eyes of green and mine at one with the sea
