Cock of the North Songtext
von Finbar and Eddie Furey

Oh cock of the north with the dream in your hand
My love has come home to this beautiful land
And he comes through the door with his eyes like the sun
And his kit′s bags are full of the treasures he's won

And below the old broomthere′s a tall luggin's tail
A bat and a crow and the jaws of a whale
And our kitchen is full with the smell of the sea
and all of the richness my love brings to me


Come gather your treasures by our gardens and rooms
And bring them along to the sweet little blooms
With the sun in the morning and blaze on your chest
Oh my love has come home from north by northwest

And here in these bedswe will lay and we'll sleep
Yes, we′ll lay and we′ll listen to the sounds of the deep
And as long as the summer, we'll sleep winter long
Oh my loev has come home like King Salomon′s son

Oh cock of the northwith the dream in your hand
My love has come home to this beautiful land
And he comes through the door with his eyes like the sun
And his kit's bags are full of the treasures he′s won
