(Tommy Sands)
Chorus:
Sailing, sailing, sailing through the sky
Sailing, sailing, sailing through the sky
I'll sing you a song of a lark in the morning
Sailing through the sky
Sailing forever above the Black Mountain
Sailing through the sky
The jailer comes round and he bids me good morning
Sailing through the sky
But already I've gone to the fair in Rathfriland
Sailing through the sky
Sometimes I go down to the bridge on a Saturday
Sailing through the sky
Stand in the sunshine with wee Tarry Flanagan
Watching the girls go by
Do you still miss me, will you still wait for me
Sailing through the sky
Will you give me a reason to wake in the morning
Sailing through the sky
And the jailer comes round to lock up in the evening
Sailing through the sky
But I've gone out walking with young Katie Houlahan
Sailing through the sky
