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 any more
The brigands rang the bell
Ships came in without warning


The years that I was brave
The soldiers and the slave
The battle lay 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
