When DI was a lad on the GEmerald DIsle
I Gheard many Dstories both lovely and Bmwild
AboDut the great dragons and Gmonsters that Dbe
That Gswallow the Dships when they sail on the Bmsea.
Refrain
Though GI was an artist with canvas and paint
I sailed with St. Brendan and his jolly Dsaints
We Gtold the good people goodbye for a while
We Dsailed for St. ABrendan's fair Disle, fair Gisle
We Dsailed for St. ABrendan's fair Disle.
We'd been on the ocean for G94 Ddays
When we Gcame to a Dspot where the sea was aBmblaze
Those Ddemons from Hades were Gdancing with Dglee
And Gburning the Dsailors alive on the Bmsea
Refrain
Then GSt. Brendan he walked on the blistering waves
He threw those demons right back to their Dcaves
And Gall of the saints wore a heavenly smile
We Dsailed for St. ABrendan's fair Disle, fair Gisle
We Dsailed for St. ABrendan's fair Disle.
One Dnight while the brethren were Glying aDsleep
A Ggreat dragon Dcame up from under the Bmdeep
He Dthundered and light'nend and Gmade a great Ddin
He aGwakened St. DBrendan and all of his Bmmen
Refrain
The Gdragon came on with his mouth open wide
We threw in a cross and the great dragon Ddied
We Gskinned him and cooked him and feasted a while
We Dsailed for St. ABrendan's fair Disle, fair Gisle
We Dsailed for St. ABrendan's fair Disle.

St. DBrendan said "Boys, this is Gmuch to my Dwish

"Hold Dfast to the rope that is Gpullin' the Dship

We Gsailed every ocean, we sailed every sea
We sailed every spot that a sailor could Dbe
In G44 days we sailed 10 million miles
