There's also a parody of this called Dollymount Strand.

I only know the chorus which goes:

The Sea Oh the Sea, it had crept up on me,
And the water was rising up quite rapidly,
So sez I to the mott get your hand off me knee,
Can't you sea we're surrounded by Water.

Mott is Dublin slang for a girlfriend.
