Tommy Makem – 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
[Chorus]
So, I'll sing farewell to Carlingford
And farewell to Greenore
And I'll think of you both day and night
Until I return once more
Until 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
[Chorus]
Now, I had a girl called Mary Doyle
And she lived in Greenore
And the foremost thought was in her mind
Was to keep me safe on shore
[Chorus]
Now, the landsman'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
[Chorus]
And could wander wild and free
There was always a longing in my mind
To follow the call of the sea
[Chorus]
So, I'll sing farewell to Carlingford
And farewell to Greenore
And I'll think of you both day and night
Until I return once more
Until 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
[Chorus]
Now, I had a girl called Mary Doyle
And she lived in Greenore
And the foremost thought was in her mind
Was to keep me safe on shore
[Chorus]
Now, the landsman'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
[Chorus]
