Farewell To Carlingford Songtext

Farewell To CarlingfordWhen I was young and in my primeAnd could wander wild and freeThere was always a longing in my mindTo follow the call of the seaSo I´ll sing farewell to Carlingfordand farewell to GreenoreAnd I´ll think of youboth day and nightTill I return once moretill I return once moreOn all of the stormy seven seasI have sailed before the mastAnd on every voyage I ever madeI swore it would be my lastNow, I had a girl called Mary DoyleAnd she lived in GreenoreAnd the foremost thoughtthat was in her mindWas to keep me safe onshoreNow, the landsman´s life is all his ownHe can go or he can stayBut when the sea gets in your bloodWhen she calls you must obey
