See the bright boat sails a-way
now out from the shore
Out from the shore see the bright
boat sails a-way now
Out from Idhra the ti-ny is-land
and its sail-ing out for spon-ges
A long the shore a long the shore
In the boat are fine young divers out from the shore
Out from the shore in the boat are fine young divers
Who will dive to hunt for sponges,
deep among the pearls and coral
Out from the shore out from the shore
Health and joy to you young divers
Out from the shore out from the shore
Health and joy to you young divers
So youll bring us home some sponges
And a bright pink piece of coral
Back to the shore back to the shore
