The Danes came to Ireland with nothing to do
But dream of the plundered old Irish they slew,
"Yeh will in yer vikings" said Brian Boru
And threw them back into the ocean.

The sea, oh the sea is the gradh geal mo croide
Long may it flow between England and me
It's a sure guarantee that some day we'll be free
Oh, thank God we're surrounded by water.

This makes no sense. The Vikings didn’t arrive in Ireland until about 1200 years ago. If the boat is 4,500 years old, it’s certainly not Viking.
