Farewell to Carlingford Songtext

von The Dubliners

When I was young and in my prime
And could wander wild and free
There was allways a lerning in my mind
To follow the call of the sea

So I sing farewell to carlingford
And farwell to greenore
And I think off you both day and night
Until I return once more, TilI I return once moor

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

Now I had a girl called Marry Beyel
And she- lived in greenore
And the foremost thought that was in her mind
Was keep me save on shore

Now the landsmands 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 obay
