DUBLIN LADY
===========

If it wasn't for the ships that do sail, that do sail
If it wasn't for the ships that do sail
Dublin Lady wouldn't have to sit alone upon her stool
If it wasn't for the ships that do sail

If it wasn't for the butter tubs and coal all in the hold
If it wasn't for the ships that do sail
Dublin Lady wouldn't have to spend her nights alone and cold
If it wasn't for the ships that do sail

If it wasn't for the kegs of beer and cattle in the pen
If it wasn't for the ships that do sail
Dublin Lady wouldn't miss her sailor now and then
If it wasn't for the ships that do sail

If it wasn't for the Irish Sea, so narrow with no reef
If it wasn't for those ships that do sail
Dublin Lady wouldn't have to sit and weep all in her grief
If it wasn't for the ships that do sail

It's because of the Irish Sea, so narrow with no reef
It's because of those ships that do sail
Dublin Lady has to sit and weep alone all in her grief
It's because of those ships that do sail
