"Drink the Night Away" is a pub sing-along where raising a glass is implored. "Heart of the Ocean" and "She Was the Prize" are original compositions sung by the guitarist. "Heart of the Ocean" is a longing, slow song while "She Was the Prize" is more catchy, while still being slow, but is reminiscent of traditional Irish love songs. "The Ferryman" is the first song by the band to feature a didgeridoo played by the bodhrán player. "After Hours at McGann's", "Breakfast at Lady A's", "The Park East Polkas", "The Devil Went Down to Doolin", "The Broken Promise" and "Titanic Set" are all fast-paced, foot-tapping instrumentals that were inspired by a great deal of drinking according to liner notes. "South Australia" is a return to the typical sailing songs of Irish fame. "Spanish Lady" is a recognizable standard. "The Barnyards of Delgaty" is a Scottish Bothy ballad.
