Irish Songs With Easy Chords & Lyrics
Farewell To Carlingford
| G | C | G |
| When | I was | young and in my | prime |
| C | G |
| And could | wander wild and | free |
| C | G |
| There was always a | longing in my | mind |
| Em | G |
| To | follow the call of the | sea |
(Chorus)
| G | C | G |
| So | I'll sing farewell to | Carling | ford |
| D |
| And farewell to Gree | nore |
| G | C | G |
| And I'll | think of you both | day and | night |
| D | G | C | D | G |
| Untill I return | once | more,untill | I re | turn once | more |
On all the stormy seven seas
I have sailed before the mast
And every voyage I ever made
I swore it would be my last
And I had a girl called Mary Doyle
And she lived in Greenore
And the foremost thought in my mind
Was to keep me safe onshore
A landman'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,,
