Farewell, Farewell to Carlingford

When I was young and in my prime

I could wander wild and free

There was always a longing in my mind

To follow the call of the sea

Farewell, farewell to Carlingford

And farewell to green isle

And I'll think of you both day and night

Until I return once more

Till I return once more

Now the landsman's life is on his own

He can go or he can stay

But when the sea gets in your blood

When she calls you must obey

Farewell, farewell to Carlingford

And farewell to green isle

And I'll think of you both day and night

Until I return once more

Till I return once more

Farewell, farewell to Carlingford

And farewell to green isle

And I'll think of you both day and night

Until I return once more

Till I return once more

Goodbye, farewell

Goodbye, farewell

Goodbye, farewell

Goodbye, farewell

Goodbye, goodbye

Farewell to Carlingford
