All the little boats have gone from the breast of Anna Liffey, The Ferrymen are stranded on the quay Now the Dublin docks is dying and a way of life, it's gone And, Molly, it was part of you and me
Where the strawberry beds sweep down to the Liffey Aye, 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 and forgotten even now. Sure, it's over, Molly, over! Can't you see?
Where the strawberry beds sweep down to the Liffey Aye, 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'll tend the yard, I'll spend me days in talking Hear them whisper: "Charlie's on the dole..." But Molly we're still livin' and, darlin', we're still young! And the river never owned me heart or soul!
Where the strawberry beds sweep down to the Liffey We will 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 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!
