Hi Kids...
I know a version of this with about three verces,
Our ship is ready, to sail away
Come comrades ore the stormy seas
her snow white wings they are unferled
and soon they will wave in a watery world...

there is a much longer versions, with like six verces or so, anyone know the longer version?
Cheers
Larry

The farewell theme and the watery world appear in songs such as:

HOMEWARD BOUND 2
OUTWARD BOUND 2
OUTWARD AND HOMEWARD BOUND

WassaiL! V

Good on ye Snuff for the quick return, but not the right song, this was an old one from the great Sarah Makem. Cheers Larry

Incidentally, I love the line "there to discourse in Maxim's sweet"! I suspect that should be "accents"!

Alison McMorland and Peta Webb did a wonderful version of Mary Toner of Armagh's song (it has different words - less literary and much easier to remember! ) on their joint album for Topic 12TS403 in 1980. It is a classic. Peta Webb did it again on her album with Pete Cooper 'The Heart is True' HR001 in 1986.Again - a wonderful performance of a great song.
They call the song 'Our Ship is Ready' or 'The Heart is True', depending on which album you are listening to.

Cathal McConnell of Boys of the Lough also sings a great version. I've heard it live, but I don't know what album its on.

Hi Declan, the Cathal version is the one I know... he's an old pal and a wonderful singer..., my words to this tune are on the post love song to America (not a jingoist song, mind you, it is about the loss of rights of late...) Cheers Larry
