The[C] ferryman is stranded on the[D] quay

Sure the[G] Dublin docks is dying and a[C] way of life is[G] gone

And[D] Molly it was[D7] part of you and[G] me

[Chorus]

Where the[D] Strawberry beds sweep down to the[G] Liffy

You[C] kissed away the worry from my[D] brow

I[G] love you well today and I'll[C] love you more to[G]morrow

If you[D] ever love me[D7] Molly love me[G] now

 

T'was the only job I knew it was hard but never lonely

The Liffy ferry made a man of me

And it's gone without a whisper and forgotted even noe

And sure it's over Molly over can't you see

 

Well now I'll tent the yard and I'll spend me days in talking

And I'll here them whisper Charlie's on the dole

But Molly we're still living and darling we're still young

And that river never owned me heart and soul
