Oh the little boats are gone from the breast of Anna Liffy
The ferryman is stranded on the quay
Sure the Dublin docks is dying and a way of life is gone
And Molly it was a part of you and me
Where the strawberry beds sweep down to the Liffy
You'll kiss away the worries from my brow
I love you well today, I'll love you more tomorrow
If you ever loved me, Molly love me now
T'was the only job I knew it was hard but never lonely
The Liffy ferry made a man of me
Now it's gone without a whisper and forgotten even now
And it's over, Molly over, can't you see?
Where the strawberry beds sweep down to the Liffy
You'll kiss away the worries from my brow
I love you well today, 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 my days in talking
I'll ear 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
Where the strawberry beds sweep down to the Liffy
You'll kiss away the worries from my brow
I love you well today, I'll love you more tomorrow
If you ever loved me, Molly love me now
Where the strawberry beds sweep down to the Liffy
You'll kiss away the worries from my brow
I love you well today, I'll love you more tomorrow
If you ever loved me, Molly love me now
If you ever loved me, Molly love me now
