dominic behan - the grand canal lyrics
[verse 1]
three months before the month of june
it was the month of march
when we set out from dublin town
with a cargo of roasted starch
the skipper’s name was “robinson”
he guided the vessel’s course
while i was the second engineer
the man that drove the horse
[verse 2]
the ship she was a dainty ship
a slender ship was she
and though she shaped up like a barge
she wasn’t called a “he”
i drove all over the land with her
from tullamore to kinnegad
how she could ride the surf with pride
along the grand c_n_l!
[verse 3]
for more than forty years
there was no water in the sea
so the skipper got on his bicycle
to see where it could be
he hadn’t gone away a year
when up there came a gale
so to keep the ship from gettin’ wet
we hung it on a nail
[verse 4]
me father was a sailor too
and his before he was
he called me “romping molly blue”
in honour of the horse
and i hope and pray my children may
be like i was, enthralled
at the men and ships and mares who slip
along the grand c_n_l
