What are the lyrics of Feilims Little Boat a traditional Irish song?

(Verse 1)

On a stormy night when I was young

My father took my sail and stung

He said I'd need them when I'm old

With a voice that was soft and bold

(Chorus)

Feilim, Feilim the seas are bold

And your boat is not made of gold

But it'll carry you home with a breeze so cold

Feilim, Feilim, oh where will you go?

(Verse 2)

With a heart that was full of dreams

I set out to sea with my gleams

I was not afraid of waves or gale

For my father's voice will never fail

(Chorus)

Feilim, Feilim the seas are bold

And your boat is not made of gold

But it'll carry you home with a breeze so cold

Feilim, Feilim oh where will you go?

(Verse 3)

Oh but storms blew and seas were high

And I wondered if I would die

But my father's boat it stayed strong

And brought me home to where I belong

(Chorus)

Feilim, Feilim the seas are bold

And your boat is not made of gold

But it'll carry you home with a breeze so cold

Feilim, Feilim oh where will you go?

(Outro)

So Feilim, Feilim the seas are bold

But I'll always remember your soul

And the love you had for me

And your boat, it set my spirit free
