Oh gentle daughter, here come the wooing men Oh gentle mother, put the wheels in motion for me
[Chorus:] Seaweed from the yellow cliff, Irish seaweed Seaweed from the ocean, the best in all of Ireland
There is a yellow gold head on the Gaelic seaweed There are two blunt ears on the stately seaweed The Irish seaweed has beautiful black shoes The stately seaweed has a beret and trousers
[Chorus 2x]
"What are you doing here?" says the Irish seaweed "At courting with your daughter," says the stately seaweed
I would go to Niúir with the Irish seaweed "I would buy expensive shoes," said the Irish seaweed
[Chorus]
I spent time telling her the story that I would buy a comb for her The story she told back to me, that she is well-groomed
"Oh where are you taking my daughter?" says the Irish seaweed "Well, I'd take her with me," says the stately seaweed
Seaweed from the yellow cliff, Irish seaweed
[Chorus]
Seaweed from the yellow cliff, Irish seaweed Seaweed from the ocean, the best, the best Seaweed from the yellow cliff, Irish seaweed Seaweed from the ocean, the best, the best The best in all of Ireland
