Oh the little boats have gone, |
|
from the breast of Anna Liffey, |
|
and the Ferrymen are stranded on the quai, |
|
The Dublin docks are dying, |
|
and a way of life is gone |
|
Its over Molly, over can't you see |
|
Where the strawberry beds, |
|
sweep down to the Liffey, |
|
you'll kiss away the troubles from my brow |
|
I love you well today |
|
and I'll love you more tomorrow, |
|
if you ever love me |
|
Molly, love me now! |
|
Now the only job I had, |
|
it was hard, but never lonely. |
|
The river ferry made a man of me. |
|
And it's gone without a whisper, |
|
and forgotten even now. |
|
And Molly it was part of you and me! |
|
Where the strawberry beds, |
|
sweep down to the Liffey, |
|
you'll kiss away the troubles from my brow |
|
I love you well today |
|
and I'll love you more tomorrow, |
|
if you ever love me |
|
Molly, love me now! |
|
And now my work is over, |
|
and I'll spend my days in rovin'. |
|
I'll hear them whisper, "Charlie's on the dole..." |
|
But Molly we're still livin', |
|
and darlin' we're still young, |
|
and the river never ruled my heart or soul! |
|
Where the strawberry beds, |
|
sweep down to the Liffey, |
|
you'll kiss away the troubles from my brow |
|
I love you well today |
|
and I'll love you more tomorrow, |
|
if you ever love me |
|
Molly, love me now! |
|
Where the strawberry beds, |
|
sweep down to the Liffey, |
|
you'll kiss away the troubles from my brow |
|
I love you well today |
|
and I'll love you more tomorrow, |
|
if you ever love me |
|
Molly, love me now! |
|
Oh the little boats have gone, |
|
from the breast of Anna Liffey, |
|
and the Ferrymen are stranded on the quai, |
|
The Dublin docks are dying, |
|
and a way of life is gone |
|
Its over Molly, over can't you see |
|
Its over Molly, over can't you see |
|
Its over |
|
Molly, it's over |
|
Molly, can't you see |
|
Molly, its over, Molly |
|
Can't you see |
