[Verse]
TDhe sun was sinking, Gtoward the westDward.
The fleet is leaving Dingle Emshore.A7  
I Dwatch the men, Grow in there Dcurraghs,
as they Gmark the fishing Agrounds near Scellig DmoreD7.
All Gthrough the night, men toil until the Ddaybreak,
while at home their wives and sweethearts kneel and Empray.A7  
That DGod might Gguard them and proDtect them,
and Gsend, them safely Aback to Dingle Dbay.D7  
I Gsee the green Isle, of DValencia,
i mind the caves around Lough EmLien.A7  
The Dgannets, Gswinging with abanDdon,
as Gthey watch the silver Astore, that comes their Dway.D7  
I Galso see a ship on the Dhorizon,
she is sailing to a country far EmawayA7.
On Dboard are Gexiles feeling loneDley,
as Gthey wave a fond Afarewell to Dingle Dbay.D7  
Now Gyears have past, as I game Dhomeward,
and time has left me old and Emgray.A7  
I Dsit, and Gmuse about my childDhood,
and Ghappy hours i Aspent in Dingle Dbay.D7  
I Gsee again the green Isle DValencia,
and the Isle of Inishmore seems far Emaway.A7  
I Dam always Gdreaming of my homeDland,
and a Glittle spot I Aleft on Dingle Dbay.---2x

The sun was sinking, toward the westward.

The fleet is leaving Dingle shore.

I watch the men, row in there curraghs,

as they mark the fishing grounds near Scellig more.

All through the night, men toil until the daybreak,

while at home their wives and sweethearts kneel and pray.

That God might guard them and protect them,

and send, them safely back to Dingle bay.

I see the green Isle, of Valencia,

Em A7

i mind the caves around Lough Lien.

D G D

The gannets, swinging with abandon,

G A D D7

as they watch the silver store, that comes their way.

I also see a ship on the horizon,

Em A7

she is sailing to a country far away.

D G D

On board are exiles feeling loneley,

G A D D7

as they wave a fond farewell to Dingle bay.

Now years have past, as I game homeward,

Em A7

and time has left me old and gray.

D G D

I sit, and muse about my childhood,

G A D D7

and happy hours i spent in Dingle bay.

I see again the green Isle Valencia,

Em A7

and the Isle of Inishmore seems far away.

I am always dreaming of my homeland,

G A D

and a little spot I left on Dingle bay.---2x
