On a (German) CD "The Irish Folk Festival 2006 / Tribute to the Galway Hooker Boats" I found a version of "The Galway Hooker" sung by Colm Breathnach of Arcanadh. Unfortunately, the CD did not contain the lyrics, and Colm's singing is so blurred that it left me helpless as far as a meaningful text is concerned. All I could make out with at least some reliability was the chorus:

"Swinging to the left and swinging to the right
There's a hooker on the seas tonight
There'll be drinking, dancing at the ceilidh mor
When the hooker's cargo comes ashore"

Is there anybody out there who can supply the verses? Please?
