I'll Stand Alone

Set out from the Doorin shore

In the shallows

A calm had spread from the north

To the south shoals

A dot on the endless sky

The storm came upon our sights

Tomorrow will come

But not for you young ones

No I won't heed your warn

I'll battle the wave and the scorn

I'll stand alone

In Cobh we spent the night

Sate with Abbot’s ale

Lay down with a lass

Alas my eyes did fail

On the road the following morn

The robbers came upon nay warning

Mates made for the trees

Left me on my knees

I'll not cede this gold

I've come too far to roll

I'll stand alone

Settled on the shores Adare

The place that I was born

The past had left me bare

No will to fight any more

The brigands rang the bell

Ships came in without warning

The years that I was brave

The soldiers and the slave

The battle lay for me now

I know not where nor how

I’ll stand alone

I’ll stand alone

I’ll stand alone

I’ll stand alone
