St. Brendan's Trip

[Verse 1] Them dastardly cowards trying to wreck our ship We've done sailed over 15,000 miles for good old Saint Brendan's trip And these Brits gonna do us like that? Well, they'd better watch out first 'Cause we drink and we're merry and we'll hit 'em where it hurts [Verse 2] Well, we Irish don't muck around when a Brit comes trying to cut us down We stand our ground, we've got our kin for every hour, every son we fight to win So those Ammonites better run while they can With the fury of the sea and the pride of our land [Chorus] Them dastardly cowards trying to wreck our ship We've done sailed over 15,000 miles for good old Saint Brendan's trip And these Brits gonna do us like that? Well, they'd better watch out first 'Cause we drink and we're merry and we'll hit 'em where it hurts [Verse 3] Waves crash hard but our hearts beat louder Every storm we met only made us prouder With salted boots and weathered hands, we crossed the edge of distant lands No iron fleet or kingdom's might Can break the crew who lives to fight [Chorus] Them dastardly cowards trying to wreck our ship We've done sailed over 15,000 miles for good old Saint Brendan's trip And these Brits gonna do us like that? Well, they'd better watch out first 'Cause we drink and we're merry and we'll hit 'em where it hurts [Outro] Raise the lantern, light the mast Let 'em hear our rebel chant at last We've crossed the sea, defied the curse And we'll hit 'em where it hurts
