Dubliners - Anna Liffey lyrics

Anna Liffey 'Twas down by Anna Liffey My love and I did stray Where in the good old slushy mud The seagulls sport and play We've got the whiff of ray and chips And Mary softly sighed Oh John won't you come, For a wan and wan Down by the Liffey side Well up along by George's Street The loving pair did view And Mary swa*ked it like a queen In a skirt of navy blue Her hat was newly turned And her blouse was newly dyed So you couldn't bate her amber locks Down by the Liffey side And on her old melodeon How sweetly could she play She played goodbye and do not sigh And down by Texas Way And when she turned Sinn Feiner I nearly burst with pride For to hear her sing the 'Soldier's song' Down by the Liffey side On Sunday morning to Meath Street Together we will go And up to Father Murphy there We both will make our vow He'll join our hands in wedlock bands And soon we'll be outside For a whole afternoon on our honeymoon Down by the Liffey side
