The Ferryman
G C G
The little boats are gone from the breast of Anna Liffy
C D
The ferryman is stranded on the quay
G C G
Sure the Dublin docks is dying and a way of life is gone
D D7 G
And Molly it was part of you and me
[Chorus]
D C G
Where the Strawberry beds sweep down to the Liffy
C D
You kissed away the worry from my brow
G C G
I love you well today and I'll love you more tomorrow
D D7 G
If you ever love me Molly love me now
G C G
T'was the only job I knew it was hard but never lonely
C D
The Liffy ferry made a man of me
G C G
And it's gone without a whisper and forgotten even now
D D7 G
And sure it's over Molly over can't you see
[Chorus]
G C G
Well now I'll tend the yard and I'll spend me days in talking
C D
And I'll here them whisper Charlie's on the dole
G C G
But Molly we're still living and darling we're still young
D D7 G
And that river never owned me heart and soul
[Chorus]
