Daughter of the dún
Terror of the west
Sailed the coasts of Ireland
With O’Malley on her crest
Sailors on the blue
Shakin’ in their cots
Feelin’ the foreboding of
The terror that she wrought
Hup the hull and away we go
Stock the galley o’gold
Whack the divil the gales he blow
We’ll batter him up in the hold
Dance along on the waterline
Speed us over the waves
Back to back on the borderlines
To never shut up and behave
Gráinne Mhaol, queen of the pirates
She set sail on the raging seas
Gráinne Mhaol, the gleam of the Irish
Spun her tales on the ocean free
Never to be caught
Tangled on the ropes
Hacked away the lengthy locks
In order to elope
She would lose no fight
She would take no shite
Stole the noble offspring
In the middle of the night
Hup the hull and away we go
Stock the galley o’gold
Whack the divil the gales he blow
We’ll batter him up in the hold
Dance along on the waterline
Speed us over the waves
Back to back on the borderlines
To never shut up and behave
Gráinne Mhaol, queen of the pirates
She set sail on the raging seas
Gráinne Mhaol, the gleam of the Irish
Spun her tales on the ocean free
Banríon na farraige
Cróga agus tréan
Ag taisteal ar na dtonnta
Cailín ag troid di féin
Tabhair faoi na Breataine
Éist leis a béic
Scrios na báid leatromach
Ag cosaint ar an ríocht
Never to fall!
A rebel in all!
Gráinne Mhaol, queen of the pirates
She set sail on the raging seas
Gráinne Mhaol, the gleam of the Irish
Spun her tales on the ocean free
