Where the strawberry beds
Sweep down to the Liffey
You kissed away the worries from my brow
I love you well today
And I love you more tomorrow
If you ever loved me, Molly, love me now
The little boats are gone
From the breast of Anna Liffey
The ferrymen are stranded on the quay
Sure the Dublin docks is dying
And a way of life is gone
And Molly it was part of you and me
Where the strawberry beds
Sweep down to the Liffey
You kissed away the worries from my brow
I love you well today
And I love you more tomorrow
If you ever loved me, Molly, love me now
Was the only job I knew
It was hard but never lonely
The Liffey Ferry made a man of me
And 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 Liffey
You kissed away the worries from my brow
I love you well today
And I love you more tomorrow
If you ever loved me, Molly, love me now
Well now I'll tend the yard
And I'll spend me days in talking
And I'll hear them whisper Charly's on the Dole
But Molly we're still living
And darlin' we're still young
And that river never owned me heart and soul
Where the strawberry beds
Sweep down to the Liffey
You kissed away the worries from my brow
I love you well today
And I love you more tomorrow
If you ever loved me, Molly, love me now
Where the strawberry beds
Sweep down to the Liffey
You kissed away the worries from my brow
I love you well today
And I love you more tomorrow
If you ever loved me, Molly, love me now
