[Verse 1]
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 Carling ford
And farewell to Gree nore
And I'll think of you both day and night
Untill I return once more
Untill I return once more
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
So I'll sing farewell to Carling ford
And farewell to Gree nore
And I'll think of you both day and night
Untill I return once more
Untill I return once more
[Verse 3]
Now I had a girl called Mary Doyle
She lives in Greenore
And the foremost thought in my mind
Is to keep me safe onshore
[Chorus]
So I'll sing farewell to Carling ford
And farewell to Gree nore
And I'll think of you both day and night
Untill I return once more
Untill I return once more
[Verse 4]
A landman's life is all his own
He can go or he can stay
But when the sea gets in your blood
The call you must obey
[Chorus]
So I'll sing farewell to Carling ford
And farewell to Gree nore
And I'll think of you both day and night
Untill I return once more
Untill I return once more
[Chorus]
So I'll sing farewell to Carling ford
And farewell to Gree nore
And I'll think of you both day and night
Untill I return once more
Untill I return once more
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 Carling ford
And farewell to Gree nore
And I'll think of you both day and night
Untill I return once more
Untill I return once more
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
So I'll sing farewell to Carling ford
And farewell to Gree nore
And I'll think of you both day and night
Untill I return once more
Untill I return once more
[Verse 3]
Now I had a girl called Mary Doyle
She lives in Greenore
And the foremost thought in my mind
Is to keep me safe onshore
[Chorus]
So I'll sing farewell to Carling ford
And farewell to Gree nore
And I'll think of you both day and night
Untill I return once more
Untill I return once more
[Verse 4]
A landman's life is all his own
He can go or he can stay
But when the sea gets in your blood
The call you must obey
[Chorus]
So I'll sing farewell to Carling ford
And farewell to Gree nore
And I'll think of you both day and night
Untill I return once more
Untill I return once more
[Chorus]
So I'll sing farewell to Carling ford
And farewell to Gree nore
And I'll think of you both day and night
Untill I return once more
Untill I return once more
