"The sun is sinking o'er the westward,
The fleet is leaving Dingle shore,
I watch the men row in their curraghs,
As they mark the fishing grounds near Skellig Mor.
All thro' the night men toil until the daybreak,
While at home their wives and sweethearts kneel and pray,
That God might guard them and protect them,
And bring them safely back to Dingle Bay."
