Lyrics

Love Is Kind

[Verse 1] Oh love is kind to the least of men Oíche mhaith, oíche mhaith Though he be but a drunken tar Oíche mhaith [Verse 2] So far from men, and the sight of land Oíche mhaith, oíche mhaith Haul along, the sailor man Oíche mhaith [Verse 3] Oh take me to that star‐eyed maid Oíche mhaith, oíche mhaith For I was happy with her lain Oíche mhaith [Verse 4] Oh in the comfort of her bed Oíche mhaith, oíche mhaith Let me lie until I'm dead Oíche mhaith [Verse 5] For love is kind to the least of men Oíche mhaith, oíche mhaith Though he be but a drunken tar Oíche mhaith [Instrumental Outro]
