Irish traditional song lyrics — collected by Beer Belly Band.
I met a girl in Dublin Town and she was fair and handsome
I took her out to Sandymount to see the waters dancing
Chorus:
Blow ye winds and blow forever, Flow sweet Liffey flow
Tonight we sail across the bay, Farewell to Dublin City
In Stephen’s Green I softly kissed my darling, lovely Annie
We paused a while in Grafton Street, she said I love you Johnny
Chorus:
Blow ye winds and blow forever, Flow sweet Liffey flow
Tonight we sail across the bay, Farewell to Dublin City
As we walked down through Nassau Street I vowed I’d never leave her
In College Green I held her tight, she said you bold deceiver
Chorus:
Blow ye winds and blow forever, Flow sweet Liffey flow
Tonight we sail across the bay, Farewell to Dublin City
And when we reached O’Connell Street we kissed good-bye forever
For Boston City I was bound and never more to see her
Chorus:
Blow ye winds and blow forever, Flow sweet Liffey flow
Tonight we sail across the bay, Farewell to Dublin City
Blow ye winds and blow forever, Flow sweet Liffey flow
Tonight we sail across the bay, Farewell to Dublin City
