Oh1, king of the sea
king of the sea,
oh, king of the sea
king of the sea.
He's my champion my Gallant Darling,
He's my Caesar, a Gallant Darling,
I've found neither rest nor fortune
Since my Gallant Darling went far away.
Oh, king of the sea
king of the sea.
Hail the hero strong and true
who fought the fight and saw it through
who swore he'd ne'er would be a slave
and gave his life our land to save.
He's my champion my Gallant Darling,
He's my Caesar, a Gallant Darling,
I've found neither rest nor fortune
Since my Gallant Darling went far away.
Oh, king of the sea
king of the sea.
From our wild Atlantic shore
above the mighty ocean's roar
let's sing from the highest mountain side
of heroes who fill our hearts with pride.
He's my champion my Gallant Darling,
He's my Caesar, a Gallant Darling,
I've found neither rest nor fortune
Since my Gallant Darling went far away.
Oh, king of the sea
king of the sea.
He's my champion my Gallant Darling,
He's my Caesar, a Gallant Darling,
I've found neither rest nor fortune
Since my Gallant Darling went far away.
1. from what I can gather, 'Óró' is a cheering or greeting.
