The Ferryman |
| Oh the little boats are gone from the breast of Anna Liffey |
| The ferrymen are stranded on the quay |
| Sure the Dublin docks are dying and a way of life is gone |
| And Molly it was part of you and me |
| Where the strawberry beds sweep down to the Liffey |
| You kiss away the worries from my brow |
| I love you well today and I love you more tomorrow |
| If you ever loved me Molly love me now |
| 'Twas the only job I know, it was hard but never lonely |
| The Liffey ferry made a man of me |
| Now it’s gone without a whisper half forgotten even now |
| And it’s over, Molly, over can’t you see |
| Where the strawberry beds… |
| Now I’ll tend the yard and spend my days in talkin' |
| Hear them whisper Charlie’s on the dole |
| But Molly we’re still livin' and darling we’re still young |
| And the river never owned me heart and soul |
| Where the strawberry beds… |
