Oh, love is kind to the least of men
E awa, e awa1
Though he be but a drunken tar
E awa, awa

Far from men, and the sight of land
E awa, e awa
Oh, who will love the sailor man?
E awa, awa

Take me to that star‐eyed maid
E awa, e awa
Oh, I was happy with her laid
E awa, awa

In the comfort of her bed
E awa, e awa
Oh, let me lie until I'm dead
E awa, awa

For love is kind to the least of men
E awa, e awa
Though he be but a drunken tar
E awa, awa

This apparently nonsensical line has been interpreted by some as the Gaelic "Oíche mhaith", meaning "Goodnight" (source: https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=159400).
