Carrickfergus |
I wish I was in Carrickfergus |
Only for nights in Ballygrand |
I would swim over the deepest ocean |
Only for nights in Ballygrand |
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over |
And neither have I the wings to fly |
I wish I had a handsome boatsman |
To ferry me over my love and I |
Now in Kilkenny it is reported |
On marble stone there as black as ink |
With gold and silver I would support her |
But I’ll sing no more now til I get a drink |
Cause I’m drunk today and I’m seldom sober |
A handsome rover from town to town |
Ah but I’m sick now my days are numbered |
Come all me young men and lay me down |
Come all me young men and lay me down. |
