By the shores of the Swilly, two children at play The king the castle, the queen of the may me and my sister, in a world of pretend Where the sun would keep the day never end
By the shores of the Swilly, now with kids of own Another year over, and see how they've grown Then we'd watch the last sunset, and walk arm in arm Till I see you next summer; God keep you harm And if I was a flier who now and then, she would put me together and fly me again.

And if I a flier who crashed now then, she would put me together and fly me again. By the shores of the Swilly, with an aching inside I'll watch her body is raised from the tide... Her life has been taken, and I'll never know why but I feel in moment, a part of me died...
