Firkin Into The Night song lyrics

We sailed under stars on the night of Lughnasa

Let down our anchor at the harbour of Cork

The captain worked us to a sweat, let us drink into the night

Made haste on the road to the famous Crooked Fork.

While drownin' in the ocean of whiskey and beer

Heard the fiddle and the flute so I took a deep swig

The crowd instantly parted like the sea in front of Moses

All eyes fell on a lass dancin' the Gallowglass Jig.

Dance my dear

Like the raging seas

Sway my ship

Until the sun rises.

Dance my dear

Spin like the wind

Like there was no tomorrow

And the end was near.

Thighs uncovered by the movement of her skirt

Hands caressed her body like the waves of the sea

Another sip of whiskey calmed the heat in me heart

Sold my soul to the barrel and the devil set me free.

That naughty look... hmm... the blazing inferno

Voluptuous curves were all around, I remember the night

The world began to shake on a dormant volcano

With a wicked smile and dazzling eyes she set us all on fire.

Dance my dear

Like the raging seas

Sway my ship

Until the sun rises.

Dance my dear

Spin like the wind

Like there was no tomorrow

And the end was near.
