Lyrics:

Moon bright one night
Young son did wake
Crawled out of his crib
Without my waking
Through the door, through the gate
Down to the dock
Into a shaky currach
As a storm's breaking

The storm rolls

Took my baby out to sea
The storm blows
Took my babe away from me

Lightning striking
First caused my rise
To the dismay of my eye
I found my child missing
So through the door, through the gate
Down to the dock
I saw a shaky currach
Into the horizon slipping

The storm rolls
Took my baby out to sea
The storm blows
Took my babe away from me

I spoke to the wind
The wind spoke to him
Show comfort, show strength, give hope
And through the wind, my son did send
Comfort, strength, hope
Wind blow, wind blow
Fill the sails
Bring my baby back to me
Wind blow, wind blow
Fill the sails
Bring him safely back from sea
