Irish Songs With Easy Chords & Lyrics
Queen Of Connemara
| D | D7 | G | D |
| Oh! My boat can safely | float in the | teeth of wind and | weather |
| D | Bm | Em | A |
| And | outrace the fastest | hooker between | Galway and Kin | sale; |
| D | Bm | G | D |
| When the | black floor of the | ocean and the | white foam rush to | gether, |
| G | Bm | G | D |
| High she | rides, in her | pride, like a | sea-gull through the | gale. |

| D | A7 | D |
| Oh she's neat! Oh she's sweet! She's a | beauty in ev'ry | line! |
| A | D | Bm | A | D |
| The | Queen of Conne | mara is that | bounding | barque of | mine. |
When she's loaded down with fish till the water lips the gunwale,
Not a drop she'll take on board her that would wash a fly away;
From the fleet she'll slip out swiftly like a greyhound from her kennel,
And she'll land her silver store the first at ould Kinvara quay.
There's a light shines out afar, and it keeps me from dismaying
When the skies are ink above us and the sea runs white with foam,
In a cot in Connemara there's a wife and wee one praying
To the One who walked the waters once, to send us safely home.
