Here is what I posted in a 1998 thread on lullabies.

CONNEMARA CRADLE SONG
Music and words by Delia Murphy
Tune is an even more mournful variation of Down In The Valley

On wings of the wind, o'er the dark rolling deep,
Angels are coming to watch o'er thy sleep.
Angels are coming to watch over thee,
So list' to the wind coming over the sea.

Chorus
Hear the wind blow, dear, hear the wind blow,
Lean your head over, and hear the wind blow.

Oh winds of the night, may your fury be crossed,
May no one who's dear to our island be lost,
Blow the wind gently; calm be the foam,
Shine the light brightly to guide them back home.

Chorus

The currachs are sailing way out in the blue,
Laden with herrin' of silvery hue,
Silver the herrin' and silver the sea,
And soon there'll be silver, for baby and me.

Chorus

The currachs tomorrow will stand on the shore,
And daddy goes sailin', a sailin' no more,
The nets will be drying, the nets heaven blessed,
And safe in my arms, dear, your daddy will rest.
Chorus

I have the recording of the lullaby as done by Clancy Bros. and Tommy Makem on Irish Folksongs and Airs. CD
Now also lists it as recorded by Tommy Drennan and Irish Monarchs.
