    Story Behind the Song
    Grace O’Malley (Granuaile), female pirate in the time of Queen Elizabeth I, made a living robbing cargo ships off the West Coast of Ireland. A fascinating personality and strong woman.

    Lyrics
    GRANUAILE

    1. Once a queen of the western approaches
    She ruled the seas with an iron hand
    No one dared venture near her castles
    Granuaile, queen of Ireland

    2. Grace O'Malley and her Clew Bay pirates
    Made a pact with the lords so grand
    To rob the ships of their Spanish bullion
    Granuaile, queen of Ireland

    3. So she went to the queen of England
    For sanctuary for her evil band
    In return she'd send gold and jewels
    Granuaile, queen of Ireland

    4. Once too many she sunk the English
    They tracked her down on her Mayo sand
    Withdrew her heart as she gazed at Achill
    Granuaile, queen of Ireland
