At Sea

Charles Wood

'Tis the long blue Head o' Garron

From the sea,

Och, we're sailin' past the Garron

On the sea.

Now Glen Ariff lies behind,

Where the waters fall an' wind

By the willows o' Glen Ariff to the sea.

Ould Luirgedan rises green

By the sea,

Ay, he stands between the Glens

An' the sea.

Now we're past the darklin' caves,

Where the breakin' summer waves

Wander in wi' their trouble from the sea.

But Cushendun lies nearer

To the sea,

An' thon's a shore is dearer

Still to me,

For the land that I am leavin'

Sure the heart I have is grievin',

But the ship has set her sails for the sea.

Och, what's this is deeper

Than the sea?

An' what's this is stronger

Nor the sea?

When the call is "all or none",

An' the answer "all for one"

Then we be to sail away across the sea.
