[Verse]
Oh, the little boats are gone from the breast of Anna Liffey,
The ferryman was stranded on the quay,
Well the Dublin docks are dying and the way of life is gone,
It's over, Molly, over can't you see.

[Chorus]
Where the strawberry beds sweep down to the Liffey,
Kiss away the worries from my brow,
I love you well today and I'll 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 river ferry made a man of me,
It's gone without a whisper, forgotten even now
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 and I'll love you more tomorrow,
If you've ever loved me, Molly, love me now.

[Verse]
So now I'll tell me yarn, I spend my days in courting,
Hear this whisper, "Bangers on the dole", (He's on the dole!)
But Molly you're still living and now darling I'm still young,
That river fully owns me heart and soul.

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

[Chorus]
And where the strawberry beds sweep down to the Liffey,
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.

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