[Verse]
Ah, the little boats are gone from the breast of Anna Liffey,
And the ferrymen are stranded on the quay,
Well the Dublin docks are dying and the way of life is gone,
And Molly it was part of you and me.

[Chorus]
Where the strawberry beds sweep down to the Liffey,
You kiss away the worries from my brow,
I love you well today, I love you more tomorrow,
If you've ever loved me, Molly, love me now.

[Verse]
Was the only job I knew, it was hard but never lonely,
The Liffey ferry made a man of me,
Well it's gone without a whisper and forgotten even now
And it's over, Molly, over can't you see.

[Chorus]
Where the strawberry beds sweep down to the Liffey,
You kiss away the worries from my brow,
I love you well today, I love you more tomorrow,
If you've ever loved me, Molly, love me now.

[Verse]
Well now I'll tell me yarn, I'll spend my days in courting,
And hear this whisper, "Charlie's on the dole",
Well Molly we're still living and darling we're still young,
And the river never owned me heart nor soul.

[Chorus]
Where the strawberry beds sweep down to the Liffey,
You kiss away the worries from my brow,
If you've ever loved me, Molly, love me now.
If you've ever loved me Molly love me now.

[Chorus]
Where the strawberry beds sweep down to the Liffey,
You kiss away the worries from my brow,
I love you well today, I love you more tomorrow,
If you've ever loved me, Molly, love me now.
