Viewing lyrics for ferryman by kevin dooley.

ferryman traditional arr. dooley

All the little boats are gone,
from the banks along the Liffey
And the ferryman are stranded at the gate
Dublin docks are dyin and a way of life is gone
Its over,molly over,can’t you see
My strawberry lass,take me down to the liffey
And kiss away the troubles from my brow
I love you well today,gonna love you more
tomorrow, if you ever loved me molly, love me now, love me now ***, molly…love me now *** molly
(inst tag)

the only job I ever had,it was hard but never lonely
and the river ferry made a man of me
gone without a whisper,forgotten even now
but mollie its so hard to let it be
(CHORUS) inst

Now my work is over, and I spend my days alone
I hear them whisper ,Charlie is on the dole
But molly we’re still living and darlin we’re still young
And the river never ever took my soul
(Chorus) X1 and end
