Anna Liffey The Dubliners

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 swanked 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
