Oh, my boat can safely float in the teeth of wind and weather
AmCFDmG
And outrace the fastest clipper between Galway and Kinsale
CFDmCAm
Where the white foam of the ocean and the dark clouds roll together
FCDmGC
There she rides it in her pride, like a seagull over the waves
[Chorus]
Oh, she's neat, oh, she's sweet
EmFAm
She's a beauty in every line
GC
The Queen of Connemara

She's that bounding barque of mine

[Verse 2]
FC
When she's loaded down with fish 'til the water lips the gun'l
AmCFDmG
Not a drop she'll take on board her that would drive a fly away
CFDmCAm
Like a ship she'll sail out gladly, like a greyhound from his kennel
FCDmGC
And she'll land her silver store, the first on ould Kinvara quay
[Chorus]
Oh, she's neat, oh, she's sweet
EmFAm
She's a beauty in every line

There's a light shines out afar, and it keeps me from dismaying
AmCFDmG
When the sky is ink above us and the sea runs white with foam
CFDmCAm
In a cot in Connemara, there's a wife and wee ones praying
FCDmGC
To the one who walked the waters once, to send us safely home
