Raging Sea - The Elders

I am a little boy just born just born now

Lookin' at me Má she smile now

Carried to the room with the fishes on the wall now

Wanna walk gotta go to the sea now

Lookin' at the boats and lookin' at the sky

I will learn to fish I will learn to fly

Not a better fisherman there will ever be

Paddy and his boat on the raging sea

Dye dee diddle dum da diddly boom boom da

I am a bigger boy gonna see a pretty girl now

Not a better lookin' girl I will see now

Drink a little whiskey and a bun in the oven now

Mad Daddy with a loaded gun now

A lovely sunny day as the wedding bells ring

We will learn to dance we will learn to sing

A happy little family you and me

Paddy and his boat on the raging sea

Dye dee diddle dum da diddly boom boom da

I am a bigger Man lookin' at my little boy now

Wonder what he gonna be gonna see now

Will he be a doctor will he be a fisherman now

I wonder what to say now

Mamma screaming orders on a stormy day

You will fix the roof you will bail the hay

With a gleam in his eye, he wants to be

Paddy and his boat on the raging sea

I am an old man old man wise man now

Happy days happy life read a book now

Lookin' at the picture and the trophies on the wall now

All me boys with a vessel and there fishin' now

Written in a book are the words I see

This dream came true for you and me

Not a better fisherman there will ever be

Paddy and his boat on the raging sea

Dye dee diddle dum da diddly boom boom da
