Dreadnoughts Grace O Malley
I remember one September Taking arms up to the crown Beaten up and broken down
And the maid that Connaught gave us Who could save us from our shame Grace O'Malley was her name
Granuaile the Pirate Queen Flashing eyes so wild and green I was only seventeen, boys I'd no right to be In Grace O'Malley's company
Her solution, retribution Revolution in the air Sailed we from the county Clare
Every galleon or battalion Who bore the British crest Sent them howling from the west
Granuaile the Pirate Queen Flashing eyes so wild and green I was only seventeen, boys I'd no right to be In Grace O'Malley's company
How we adored her even more sir When the order came around With an offer from the crown
Hike the stems boys, up the Thames boys It's Gracie breath to breath With the one Elizabeth
Granuaile the Pirate Queen Flashing eyes so wild and green I was only seventeen, boys I'd no right to be In Grace O'Malley's company
