My Mother Told Me Colm R. McGuinness

[Verse 1]
My mother told me
Someday I will buy
A galley with good oars
Sail to distant shores
Stand up on the prow
Noble barque I steer
Steady course to the haven
Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men

[Verse 2]
My mother told me
Someday I will buy
A galley with good oars
Sail to distant shores
Stand up on the prow
Noble barque I steer
Steady course to the haven
Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men

[Verse 3]
My mother told me
Someday I will buy (Buy)
A galley with good oars
Sail to distant shores (Shores)
Stand up on thе prow
Noble barque I steer
(Steady) Stеady course to the haven
Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men
