Farewell to Carlingford |
When I was young and in my prime |
And could wander wild and free |
There was always a longing in my mind |
To follow the call of the sea |
So, I’ll sing farewell to Carlingford |
And farewell to Greenore |
And I’ll think of you both day and night |
Until I return once more |
Until I return once more |
On all of the stormy seven seas |
I have sailed before the mast |
And on every voyage I ever made |
I swore it would be my last |
So, I’ll sing farewell to Carlingford |
And farewell to Greenore |
And I’ll think of you both day and night |
Until I return once more |
Until I return once more |
Now, I had a girl called Mary Doyle |
And she lived in Greenore |
And the foremost thought was in her mind |
Was to keep me safe on shore |
So, I’ll sing farewell to Carlingford |
And farewell to Greenore |
And I’ll think of you both day and night |
Until I return once more |
Until I return once more |
Now, the landsman’s life is all his own |
He can go or he can stay |
But when the sea gets in your blood |
When she calls, you must obey |
So, I’ll sing farewell to Carlingford |
And farewell to Greenore |
And I’ll think of you both day and night |
Until I return once more |
Until I return once more |
