To confuse matters, there is another song called "Grania's Song":

GRANIA'S SONG
(words and music by Beth Gadbaw)

CHORUS
On the wings of an eagle on the song of the dove
May the blackbird bless my journey from the rigging above
May my white sails billow boldly may my ship plow on so brave
On the journey I have chosen o'er the raging waves

Yes I've been a sailor I've been a sailor's wife
And I've been an auld king's daughter in my western seaward life
I will sail in no man's shadow whether he be friend or foe
I have staked my claim to the rolling main the only home I know

CHORUS

Queens will kneel before me and soldiers march behind
I will fight for Ireland's glory to make sure my clan survives
I will sail in no man's shadow lest my true love calls my name
I will fold him fondly in my wings 'til Connaught sails again

CHORUS


from The Green Fields and the Mountains High, released February 9, 2016
Beth Gadbaw, vocals & percussion
