Oh, the little boats are gone from the breast of Ban Liffey,
The ferry men are standing on the quay,
Now 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,
Kiss away the worries from my brow,
I love you well today and I'll love you more tomorrow,
If you ever loved me Molly love me now.

Twas the only life I knew, it was hard but never lonely,
The Liffey ferry made a man of me,
Now the Dublin docks are dying, and the way of life is gone,
And Molly it is over, can't you see.

Now I'll tend the yard and I'll keep the house tidy,
And I'll hear them whisper, "Charlie's on the dole,"
But darling we're still living, and darling we're still young,
And the Liffey never owned me heart and soul.
