The Ferryman Lyrics

The Ferryman lyrics

All the little boats are gone 

 From the breast of Anna Liffey 

 And the ferrymen are stranded on the quay 

 The Dublin docks are dying 

 And a way of life is gone 

 And Molly it was part of you and me  

  

 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 

  

 ´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 

  

 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
