Sometimes we're bound for Liverpool
Sometimes we're bound for France
But now we're bound to Leirvik town
To give them gals a chance

Hurrah! Hurrah! For the gals o' Dublin town!
Hurrah for the bonny green flag and the harp without the crown!

Sometimes we're bound for foreign parts
Sometimes we're bound for home
Ah, Johnny's always at his best wherever he may roam

Hurrah! Hurrah! For the gals o' Dublin town!
Hurrah for the bonny green flag and the harp without the crown!

Sometimes the weather's fine and fair
Sometimes it's damn well foul
Sometimes it blows a Cape Horn breeze that freezes up your soul

Hurrah! Hurrah! For the gals o' Dublin town!
Hurrah for the bonny green flag and the harp without the crown!

And also, sometimes we are a happy crowd
Sometimes we'll sing a song
Sometimes we wish we'd never been born
But we do not grouse for long

Hurrah! Hurrah! For the gals o' Dublin town!
Hurrah for the bonny green flag and the harp without the crown!

And finally
And when the voyage is all done and we go away on shore
We'll spend our money on the whores, then go to sea for more

Hurrah! Hurrah! For the gals o' Dublin town!
Hurrah for the bonny green flag and the harp without the crown!
Hurrah! Hurrah! For the gals o' Dublin town!
Hurrah for the bonny green flag and the harp without the crown!
Cheer up me lads!
