Set out from the doorin shore In the shallows A calm that spread from the north To the south shoals A dot on the endless sky The storm came upon our sights
Tomorrow will come But not for you young ones No I won't heed your warn I'll battle the wave and the storm I'll stand alone
In cobh we spent the night Sate with abbot's ale Lay down with the lass Alas my eyes did fail On the road the following morn' The robbers came upon nay warning
Mates made for the trees And left me on my knees I'll not cede this gold I've come too far to roll I'll stand alone
Settled on the shores adare The place that I was born The past had left me bare No will to fight any more The brigands rang the bell Ships came in without warning
The years that I was brave The soldiers and the slave The battle lays for me now I know not where nor how
I’ll stand alone I’ll stand alone I’ll stand alone I’ll stand alone
