Farewell To Calingford

When 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 you both day and nightUntil I return once more, till 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 lastSo I'll sing farewell to CarlingfordAnd farewell to GreenoreAnd I'll think of you both day and nightTill I return once more, till I return once moreNow, I had a girl called Mary DoyleAnd she lived in GreenoreNd the foremost thought that was in her mindWas to keep me safe on shoreSo I'll sing farewell to CarlingfordAnd farewell to GreenoreAnd I'll think of you both day and nightTill I return once more, till I return once moreNow, 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 obeySo I'll sing farewell to CarlingfordAnd farewell to GreenoreAnd I'll think of you both day and nightUntil I return once more, until I return once moreSo I'll sing farewell to CarlingfordAnd farewell to GreenoreAnd I'll think of you both day and nightUntill I return once more, until I return once more
