The Elders Celtic
-
Saint Brendan Had a Boat
With their riddles off the tongue did come the Sons of Gael The ancient Druid kings feared by many men With a crack of light that fell upon the warriors To win it all with a poet's poison pen
They fought the devil's mother to the death for forty days When they came down from the mountains it was done Twenty oars on either side when they put out with the tide Their adventure only knew tomorrow's sun
One mighty mast of beggar's oak their vessel proud And a rumor of those islands to the west One winter's whisky ration all that steerage would allow So they left behind for Kerry all the rest
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com With only stars to navigate their big black sea Till by accident one lookout heard the sound By this time their only compass was a rosary And after twenty weeks the coastline stared them down
On the year of their return by the lips of every man Their solemn oath of secrecy was sealed Reunited with their clan not a breath about the land That this journey on the ocean did reveal
Not a word was written down not a map was ever drawn For the captains of ten centuries to borrow
