Farewell To Carlingford
| Tommy Makem |

| When I was young and in my prime and could wander wild and free There was always a longing in my mind to follow the call of the sea So I sing farewell to Carlingford and farewell to Greenore and I'll think of you both day and night until I return once more til I return once more On all of the stormy seven seas I have sailed before the mast And on every voyage I ever made I swore it would be my last So I sing farewell to Carlingford and farewell to Greenore and I'll think of you both day and night until I return once more til I return once more Now I had a girl called Mary Doyle and she lived in Greenore And the foremost thought that was in her mind was to keep me safe on shore So I sing farewell to Carlingford and farewell to Greenore and I'll think of you both day and night until I return once more til I return once more Now the landsmans life is all his own, he can go or he can stay But when the sea gets in your blood, when she calls you must obey So I sing farewell to Carlingford and farewell to Greenore and I'll think of you both day and night until I return once more til I return once more So I sing farewell to Carlingford and farewell to Greenore and I'll think of you both day and night until I return once more til I return once more This page has been viewed 1574 times |
