Farewell To Carlingford Lyrics

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'll sing farewell to Carling ford
And farewell to Gree nore
And I'll think of you both day and night
Untill I return once more,
Untill I return once more

On all the stormy seven seas
I have sailed before the mast
And every voyage I ever made
I swore it would be my last

So I'll sing farewell to Carling ford
And farewell to Gree nore
And I'll think of you both day and night
Untill I return once more,
Untill I return once more
And I had a girl called Mary Doyle
And she lived in Greenore
And the foremost thought in my mind
Was to keep me safe onshore

So I'll sing farewell to Carling ford
And farewell to Gree nore
And I'll think of you both day and night
Untill I return once more,
Untill I return once more
A landman's 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'll sing farewell to Carling ford
And farewell to Gree nore
And I'll think of you both day and night
Untill I return once more,
Untill I return once more

So I'll sing farewell to Carling ford
And farewell to Gree nore
And I'll think of you both day and night
Untill I return once more,
Untill I return once more
