The Ferryman Songtext
von Murphy's Pigs

All the little boats are gone from the breast of an Liffey
The ferryman is stranded on the quay
Oh, the Dublin docks are dyin′, and the way of life is gone
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


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

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

So now I tend the yards, I spend me days in talkin'
I hear them whisper, "Charlie′s on the dole"
But Molly, we're still livin', darling, we′re still young
That river never owned me heart and 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
