The Ghosts From Below

THE GHOSTS FROM BELOW

Oh my love sailed o’er the ocean
Oh my love sailed out to sea
But the ghosts from below come to greet her
And they took my love from me
Nine months since I’ve been a-waitin’
Nine months I’ve looked to the sea
The horizon brings me no lover
Damn the horizon that’s damned me
Oh my love sailed o’er the ocean
Oh my love sailed out to sea
But the ghosts from below come to greet her
And they took my love from me
She left Dublin to join me
To follow a young dreamer’s heart
But the ghosts from below come to greet her
And keep us forever apart
I’ll never love another
For another could never compare
To the laugh and the look of my Bonnie
Sweet Bonnie from County Clare
Oh my love sailed o’er the ocean
Oh my love sailed out to sea
But the ghosts from below come to greet her
And they took my love from me
I’ll live alone for my lifetime
And long for my Bonnie Lass
I’ll cry more waters than the ocean
And time will slowly pass
Oh my love sailed o’er the ocean
Oh my love sailed out to sea
But the ghosts from below come to greet her
And they took my love from me
