Lyrics

I’m Eowan MacBoyle and I’m rigging my sails
For a one way mission at sea
That tentacled devil will pay with his life
For the treasure he’s taken from me
I got nothing inside, no one left to hold
My broken heart’s cupboard is bare
Round my neck hangs a hide, with your wee band of gold
And two little locks of their hair
Curses on you devil fish
Curses one two three
Curses on you devil fish
You stole my life from me
My lassies were working knee-deep in the surf
Gathering cockles galore
When those eight devil arms, snatched them away
I’ll hear their screams ever more
Curses on you devil fish
Curses one two three
Curses on you devil fish
You stole my life from me
Twas a terrible day that’s seared in my head
The day they were taken from me
I watched from my boat, my heart in my throat
Revenge I swore to the sea
It’s been twenty long years with nary a sign
Of that devil that lives in the sea
To those arms neath the waves, I cry and I pray
You’ve one last embrace left for me
Curses on you devil fish
Curses one two three
Curses on you devil fish
You stole my love from me
You stole my life from me…
