Paddy Goes To Holyhead - Tales Of Never Ending Days lyrics

Down all along the gale where all these barks do sail The sun was setting in the west I took an eastbound trip on a vacant sailing ship And when I reached I can′t take no rest [chorus:] Tunes of silence everywhere I make my way, tales of never ending days I won′t return these days, won′t be back for many a day My heart is down to make my way The sailor′s life is hard but free, his home is on the rolling sea And soon across the waters clear Never heart more true or brave than he who launches on the wave This gallant ship shall bravely steer [chorus]
