A hundred days at sea, A wretch away from misery Rummies and rats and tarry jacks my only family (break) The island of salvation is still a scream a way As the lungs of the night blow out the light my heart kneels down to pray (straight into chorus) Lord why did you take her She meant so much to me Now I? m a wretched soul on a privateer drowning out at sea I? m killing and I? m drinking my blue heart to black But I swear, oh Lord, I? ll never sin again if you bring her back Gypsy was a siren, Dripping with desire Her moonless hair and skin so fair as warm as frozen fire She had the loyalty of a cat, behind those pale green eyes And through her cherry lips the devil slipped, a thousand lies A clan of rogues and vagabonds occupied her head That thieving band took her pale white hand and stole her from my bed And like a ghost ship in the night she drifted out once more To land upon the sand of another lover? s shore Lord why did you take her she meant so much to me Now I? m a wretched soul on a privateer drowning out at sea I? m killing and I? m drinking my blue heart to black But I swear, oh Lord, I? ll never sin again If you bring her back In my sleeping mind she sings a sad and lonely lullabye When I wake there? s just the ache it will haunt me till I die When those winds of vanity no longer blow her west I pray they? ll guide her home (across the foam) and put my heart to rest Press gang filled this Man-o-War To make the black mouthed cannon roar Now all my trade is ball and blade, and blood forever more And the sting of salt and spray, the ocean? s howl and squall A stumbling wreck, I roam the deck, at the devil? s beck and call. at the devil? s beck and call Oh, Lord, why did you take her She meant so much to me Now I? m a wretched soul on a privateer Drowning out at sea I? m killing and I? m drinking my blue heart to black But I swear, oh Lord, I? ll never sin again if you bring her back
Out of curiosity, I'm wondering if anyone else who enjoys this song belts out the "Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!" while Patrick Murphy (the lead singer) sings, "I swear, O Lord, I'll never sin again, if you bring her back!"
Out of curiosity, I'm wondering if you have ever lost you truly love...cause you seem to think that he's casually throwing that phrase around....While it may not be possible to not sin, it is quite surprising what losing someone you love will do to you.....
The Seventh My apologies. I wasn't doubting the sincerity of what he was saying, and it seems that his message indicates just how desperate he is to have the one he loves return to him. I have indeed lost my fair share of family and friends, and while time may stem the grief of loss, it cannot banish it away entirely, nor can it completely erase the memories.
The Seventh It seems worth to mention that he was not saying "ha ha ha ha" to the song, he was referring to the more sailor chant of "Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!" From the song itself.
My dad has this on his playlist. I heard this while doing work for him and fell in love with it instantly! I want to move to somewhere in the UK when I grow up!
I call England, England. Ireland, Ireland, and Scotland, Scotland. If I ever get in the way of some money, I might go to Ireland one day. Only country i'd visit willingly. If I do go, I'm going to get drunk.
She's a sexual predator, female variety. See my comment above. Want another picture of the same type of woman? Watch the series "Gypsy" starring Naomi Watts, Billy Crudup and Sophie Cookson. You'll find it on Netflix. Pay attention, because things are not always as they seem.
Boys and girls, meet my first wife... and the worst of it was, I knew what I was getting into. But I didn't care, just so long as I could have her for a while.
No need to apologize, was just pointing out an error. Mostly because there are some people out there who would really fly off the handle at such a mistake. Irish people tend to not like the British very much (and for good reason)
Okay, I know this (as I have stated several times) and I am sorry for offending anyone. But, just so you know, I was able to tell an Irish friend of mine about my hopes to go to Scotland without offending him. This was because, unlike most females my age, I did not wish to go to England for any reason (most young ladies from the states want to go to England for that boy band One Direction). Anyway, I am very sorry for any confusion.
Yes, I know this. I just do not desire to go to Ireland. Scotland is where I plan to go. Ireland is a beautiful place and I'm very much rethinking my decision to only go to Scotland. I'm sorry if I offended you.
It's not even possible since the party that owns the content has commercialized it. I finally switched the commercials off so people can stop moaning and just listen to the song. So listen to it while you can, because now there's a good change that it gets taken off.
A press-gang filled this man o'war, To make the black-mouthed cannon roar,/This pirate ship was crewed by conscripted corsairs, press-ganged into service. Their duty was to ravage, loot and destroy, manning the black-mouthed cannon. Now all my trade is ball and blade, blood forever more. Basically, the corsair feels that all he is good for is killing and ravaging. Having lost his lady, he lives on the Seas, taking out his grief and rage out on any ship unfortunate enough to cross his path. Hope this helps.
Actually yes Ireland is part if the uk the northern part if the island of Ireland is part of England but the country of Ireland is part if the. United Kingdoms of England Ireland Scotland and whales aka The UK
This is without a doubt, my favorite Gaelic Storm song.
Wish I could like this more than once. Will someone like this on my behalf?
it is finished

One of the best and truest love songs ever written, God bless GS
Thank you, Pandora, for introducing me to this amazing song
This is dance music, like I'm fully aware of the message but the fiddle is just perfect for spins and it has such an amazing beat.
Dance songs don't need to be happy
A hundred days at sea, A wretch away from misery
Rummies and rats and tarry jacks my only family (break)
The island of salvation is still a scream a way
As the lungs of the night blow out the light my heart kneels down to pray
(straight into chorus)
Lord why did you take her She meant so much to me
Now I? m a wretched soul on a privateer drowning out at sea
I? m killing and I? m drinking my blue heart to black
But I swear, oh Lord, I? ll never sin again if you bring her back
Gypsy was a siren, Dripping with desire
Her moonless hair and skin so fair as warm as frozen fire
She had the loyalty of a cat, behind those pale green eyes
And through her cherry lips the devil slipped, a thousand lies
A clan of rogues and vagabonds occupied her head
That thieving band took her pale white hand and stole her from my bed
And like a ghost ship in the night she drifted out once more
To land upon the sand of another lover? s shore
Lord why did you take her she meant so much to me
Now I? m a wretched soul on a privateer drowning out at sea
I? m killing and I? m drinking my blue heart to black
But I swear, oh Lord, I? ll never sin again If you bring her back
In my sleeping mind she sings a sad and lonely lullabye
When I wake there? s just the ache it will haunt me till I die
When those winds of vanity no longer blow her west
I pray they? ll guide her home (across the foam) and put my heart to rest
Press gang filled this Man-o-War To make the black mouthed cannon roar
Now all my trade is ball and blade, and blood forever more
And the sting of salt and spray, the ocean? s howl and squall
A stumbling wreck, I roam the deck, at the devil? s beck and call. at the devil? s beck and call
Oh, Lord, why did you take her She meant so much to me
Now I? m a wretched soul on a privateer Drowning out at sea
I? m killing and I? m drinking my blue heart to black
But I swear, oh Lord, I? ll never sin again if you bring her back

That's quite all right. I probably should have been more specific in my above comment.
Love this song, the sound, the lyrics and delivery of its meshing together.
Brought here by Pandora - I have to say I LOVE the rhythm to this! It's awesome!
My dad has this on his playlist. I heard this while doing work for him and fell in love with it instantly! I want to move to somewhere in the UK when I grow up!
This song is hitting too close to home right now...
I was hoping no one would relate.
I feel ya, Hoss...
Take to the seas.
I felt this for awhile, then considered getting a sailing job 🤣
I was not expecting this to be so amazing
beautiful photo of Eire.
songs that give you chills
Absolute perfection...
Can't. Stop. Listening. Must. Purchase. Song.
awesome song! thanks for the upload!
This is one of my fravrit songs
Beautiful song.
holy first song on this playlist and this banger comes on. this song is soooo good omg 👏👏👏
this is such a great song. best love song in the universe
Great song.
We need a 10-hour-version
yes, volcano, pandora! ahh, the 50th time i've listened to this today!
Am I the only one who thinks this would be great in a musical about pirates?
Gaelic Storm, Good band, I liked them in the 1997 Titantic movie 3rd class dance music.
I made a comment a few weeks ago about Pink Floyd because I love Dark side - YOU know and to this day I'm still getting comments on that!
oihhhh shit.... this is the best thing ive ever eard =O
That's what I thought
I can't wait to go back to Ireland
Lovely!
Wonderful
Wonderful!
Love Gaelic Storm!
It's like... Maritime Blues...
what do you mean "again"? this song is worthy of 10000 times!!!!! you've barely scratched the surface!!!!!!!!
Once again I find myself listening to this
I listen to this at LEAST four or five times in a row.
this really makes me think of ac 4 am i the only one?
Thank God, I thought I was the only one xD
It reminded me of Blackbeard black man
And correct use of the word maritime too!
Upping this because spotify removed this gem
Great song!
La musica irlandesa me hace querer bailar
a mi tambien me hace re querer bailar
love the song
Good job
i can see my home from here.....
Aye Im feelin like this!
I get to see GS on the 17th!
yeah, i haven't been there yet, but, when i go, i'm not coming back.
this is awesome
Could you imagine if this was mainstream instead of Kanye West or Bieber or any of the other trash?
chris ocon it should be
It's a comforting thought, indeed.
Anything that goes mainstream gets watered down to shit, so no. I like to enjoy my music just as backwater as it is.
chris ocon they're old, they were in the Titanic movie.....
chris ocon for someone like me and where I'm from this is mainstream
love
They tool it off of Spotify!!!
im only 15 seconds on this,and i agree with you
gettin drunk! hell yeah
I call England, England. Ireland, Ireland, and Scotland, Scotland. If I ever get in the way of some money, I might go to Ireland one day. Only country i'd visit willingly.
If I do go, I'm going to get drunk.
nate556 go to Wales, it's basicly the same and is less of a tourist trap
That melody sounds like something else I've heard recently, but I can't recall what it was--little help here?
This song always makes me think of Robert Baratheon
The beginning of this sounds a lot like 'Ballad of Hollis Brown' by Dylan
I hate to be That Guy, but this would have fit perfectly in season 3 of Peaky Blinders.
This first like 10 seconds of this song sounds just like a Jethro Tull intro but I can seem to remember what song. Any help?
Is it bad I relate with this guy?
His girl left him for another man so he becomes a badass pirate? Noice, future One Piece character for sure 😏😅
Is it just my or have I heard this on Samcro also?
Possibly on the episodes involving the Irish when jax was looking for his son?

Wow Betsy, I am not irish myself but i can imagine that you pissed off some irishmen when you mentioned the UK
Concur
Is this a song about a woman that died, or a woman that left for another man?
"Like a ghost ship in the night she drifted out once more. To land upon the sand of another lovers shore"
I think it's about a woman leaving for another man, and I then he drowns his sorrows in the ocean as a ship captain in the slave trade.
Not the slave trade, a privateer. Think 'pirates' sanctioned by a government to prey on ships from a rival country.
She's a sexual predator, female variety. See my comment above. Want another picture of the same type of woman? Watch the series "Gypsy" starring Naomi Watts, Billy Crudup and Sophie Cookson. You'll find it on Netflix. Pay attention, because things are not always as they seem.
Oops! Earlier comment was by my alter ego, Strelnikov6228.
I can see my loch from here but not my home
It alll started with "Herding Cats". My Border Collie Tess Siobhan got excited when I mentioned the title!
I still don't know if this song is about a woman or a ship.
PyroGhost913 best interpretation ever.
its probably both.
its about a women who left him because he worked too much.
I thought it was about Ireland
A woman pale green eyes cherry lips
Boys and girls, meet my first wife... and the worst of it was, I knew what I was getting into. But I didn't care, just so long as I could have her for a while.
scalliwags pretty good too. checck it out
Republic of Ireland is not part of the UK. Northern Ireland is however.
It is total bullshit that you're monetizing with two adds on content you stole.
Arthur Radford Me? It doesn't work like that. The adds are there because I don't own the content. I have no control over it.
+Arthur Radford I think RUclips puts those ads there, whether you want them or not.
+Arthur Radford If you can hear the music it means its covered by an agreement between youtube and the copyright owner. youtube puts the ads up.
+Matt Richardson actually you can turn the adds of on your videos if u choose
install and ad blocker if it means that much to you
No need to apologize, was just pointing out an error. Mostly because there are some people out there who would really fly off the handle at such a mistake.

So, is he talking about a woman or a ship? Almost seems like it could be either. Gives me a bit of a “more irish Jack Sparrow” vibe.
Yes, I know this. I just do not desire to go to Ireland. Scotland is where I plan to go. Ireland is a beautiful place and I'm very much rethinking my decision to only go to Scotland. I'm sorry if I offended you.
I am very sorry for the confusion, but I am quite aware of that fact. I do apologize.
how dare you monetize music that isn't yours
It's not even possible since the party that owns the content has commercialized it. I finally switched the commercials off so people can stop moaning and just listen to the song. So listen to it while you can, because now there's a good change that it gets taken off.
Sorry about the stupidity of the people in general, but thanks for sharing this with us.
I love Gaelic Storm and this song particularly.
