GUEST,Alice Lyr Req: Fail-Oro we're Sailing (10) RE: Lyr Req: Fail-Oro we're Sailing 21 Aug 18


I learned this song from a sailor once. The lyrics I learned were as follows:

Felorow we’re sailin’
The Bosun is hailin’
The lads are high in the riggin’
And the wind in the hawse is wailin’
Felorow we’re sailin’

Felorow we’re sailin’
We took her out from Grenoc
Felorow and fairleo
Six and thirty white sails she wore
Like maidens on the valley
Felorow we’re sailin’

Felorow we’re sailin’
We passed the land of Erin
No signs of it fairin’
The wind, she blew up behind us
And it blew ‘till we started swearin’
Felorow we’re sailin’

Felorow we’re sailin’
We’re bound for Nova Scotia
Newfoundland and Manitoba
We’ll be at sea for a year or more
Before this voyage is over
Felorow we’re sailin’
