The Ferryman Songtext
von The Patricks

The little boats have gone from the breast of Anna Liffey
The ferrymen are stranded on the quay
Sure 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 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 love you more tomorrow
If you ever loved me Molly love me now
Love me now
Love me now
Love me now


Well now I tell my yarns and I′ll spend my days in talking
And I′ll hear them whisper Charly's on the dole
But Molly we′re still livin' and darling we′re still young
That river never owned me 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 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 love you more tomorrow
If you ever loved me Molly love me now
