Farewell To Carlingford lyrics

When I was young and in my prime
I could wander wild and free
There was always a thought within my mind
To follow the call of the sea

So I'll sing farewell to Carlingford,
And farewell to Greenore
And I'll think of you most day and night,
Until I return once more
Until I return once more

On all of the seven stormy seas
I have sailed before the mast
And the only thought within my mind
I said would be my last

So I'll sing farewell to Carlingford,
And farewell to Greenore
And I'll think of you most day and night,
Until I return once more
Until I return once more

Now, I had a girl called Mary Doyle
She lived in Greenore
And the foremost thought within her mind
Is to keep me safe on shore

So I'll sing farewell to Carlingford,
And farewell to Greenore
And I'll think of you most day and night,
Until I return once more
Until I return once more

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 call, you must obey

So I'll sing farewell to Carlingford,
And farewell to Greenore
And I'll think of you most day and night,
Until I return once more
Until I return once more... x2
