Paroles : The Ferryman

The Ferryman (Pete St John)

Sol        

All the little boats are gone

                  Do                     Sol
From the breast of Anna Liffey

              Do                                                   Ré
And the ferrymen are stranded on the quay

Do
The Dublin docks are dying

                                     Sol
And a way of life is gone

          Ré                                           Sol
And Molly it was part of you and me

Ré

Where the strawberry beds

              Do                  Sol
Sweep down to the Liffey

           Do                                                      Ré
You'll kiss away the worries from my brow

   Do
I love you well today

  Do                                  Sol
And I'll love you more tomorrow

            Ré                                            Sol
If you ever loved me Molly love me now

'Twas the only job I knew
It was hard but never lonely
The Liffey Ferry made a man of me
Now it's gone without a whisper
Forgotten even now
Sure it's over Molly over can't you see

Where the strawberry beds
Sweep down to the Liffey
You'll kiss away the worries from my brow
I love you well today
And I'll love you more tomorrow
If you ever loved me Molly love me now

Well now I spin my yarns
And spend my days in talking
I hear them whisper Charley's on the dole
But Molly we're still living
And Darling 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 worries from my brow
I love you well today
And I'll love you more tomorrow
If you ever loved me Molly love me now
