The Ferryman
The Dubliners Nr.: 88
Oh the little boats are gone from the breast of Anna LiffeyThe ferrymen are stranded on the quaySure the Dublin docks are dying and a way of life is goneAnd Molly it was part of you and me Where the strawberry beds sweep down to the LiffeyYou kiss away the worries from my browI love you well today and I love you more tomorrowIf you ever loved me Molly love me now T`was the only job I knew it ws hard but never lonely The Liffey ferry made a man of me Now it`s gone without a whisper and forgotten even now sure it`s over Molly over can`t you see Where the strawberry beds sweep down to the LiffeyYou kiss away the worries from my browI love you well today and I love you more tomorrowIf you ever loved me Molly love me now Well now I'll tend the yard and I`ll spend my days in talkin'And hear them whisper "Charlie's on the dole"But Molly we're still livin' and darling we're still youngAnd the river never owned me heart and soul Where the strawberry beds sweep down to the LiffeyYou kiss away the worries from my browI love you well today and I love you more tomorrowIf you ever loved me Molly love me now
