Oh, love is kind to the least of men
Oíche mhaith, oíche mhaith
Though he be but a drunken tar
Oíche mhaith
So far from men, and the sight of land
Oíche mhaith, oíche mhaith
Haul along, the sailor man
Oíche mhaith
Oh take me to that star‐eyed maid
Oíche mhaith, oíche mhaith
For I was happy with her lain
Oíche mhaith
Oh, in the comfort of her bed
Oíche mhaith, oíche mhaith
Let me lie until I'm dead
Oíche mhaith
For love is kind to the least of men
Oíche mhaith, oíche mhaith
Though he be but a drunken tar
Oíche mhaith
