Lyrics
Together on the eve of the new year
Nothing like it can be good to know
The way for the winter home
And the best solution of the snow
The druggard king says he has a plan
A plan to travel across the snow
We'll be with our families tonight
And be back before first light
We must make our shack our rest
Make a deal with the devil
To kill us when we die
As one canoe we ride to the river Youghal or die
And then the devil appeared
And the rules he made quite clear
Touch earth, cross or swear on the Lord's name
And it's always last
Prepare for the hardest row
If not it's straight to hell
We put our fears aside
To loss we will abide
Let's ride today across the sky
A southbound revelry
To be with our families tonight
The skies are so clear
So much breeze to blow our fear
The charge is heard
To the Youghal we'll be gone
Not far to the river now
So much to time in how
Not long till the journey's done
And the party has just begun
Let's ride today across the sky
A southbound revelry
To be with our families tonight
We'll meet the devil
And play his game
The wages we'll
We will gain
On the trek of our deep flow
We're dancing ever so
And on the thrill
Is to raise the first pint of our cheer
The devil takes no interest
Now our time is almost up
And as the clock struck midnight
On the lake of Youghal
We said dear folk goodbye
But now we must turn to the sky
Onward we went to feel
The fog unbolting in a crash
But not a sound to quell the mirth
Of souls like mine and others
Let's ride today across the sky
A southbound revelry
To be with our families tonight
We'll meet the devil
And play his game
The wages we'll
We will gain
The druggard king will say the words
And doom us all to hell
With a swift hit he made my fist
And on the water he fell
The rest of us who made it back
We all gathered 'round
And the rapture first just arrived
