Set out from the Doorin shore,
In the shallows,
A calm had spread from the north,
To the south shoals.
A dot on the endless sky,
The storm came upon our sights.
Tomorrow will come,
But not for you young ones,
No I won't heed your warn,
I'll battle the wave and the storm.
I'll stand alone !
In Cobh we spent the night, sate with Abbot’s ale.
Lay down with a lass, alas my eyes did fail.
On the road the following morn, the robbers came upon nay warning.
Mates made for the trees,
Left me on my knees.
I'll not cede this gold,
I've come too far to roll.
I'll stand alone !
Settled on the shores Adare,
The place that I was born.
The past had left me bare,
No will to fight anymore.
The brigands rang the bell,
Ships came in without warning.
The years that I was brave,
The soldiers and the slave,
The battle lays for me now,
I know not where nor how.
I’ll stand alone !
I’ll stand alone !
I’ll stand alone !
I’ll stand alone !
