Farewell to Carlingford |
When I was young and in my prime |
And could wander wild and free |
There was always a longing in my heart |
To follow the call of sea |
So I’ll sing farewell to Carlingford |
And farewell to Greenore |
I’ll think of 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 |
But on every voyage I ever made |
I swore it would be my last |
Now I have a girl called Mary Doyle |
And she lives in Greenore |
And the foremost thought was in her mind |
To keep me safe on the shore |
Now a 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 |
