I was in a pub in Ireland and heard a singer sing "Strawberry Beds"- Not trad.I'm sure. Chorus "Where the Strawberry beds sweep down to the Liffy / You'll kiss away the worries from my brow. / I've loved you well today, I'll love you more tomorrow / If you ever loved me Molly love me now" So does any one out there know anything about it? Thanks -Lorraine

I think you want the song title of

THE FERRYMAN by Pete St John

Song book by Pete St John Is published and available

here in Ireland our own group do quite a few of his songs including Ringsend Rose and the fields of Athenry and you are correct these are not traditiditional songs as in old style.

any more info contact [e-mail]
