Carrickfergus |
| The Bride Stripped Bare |
| Carrickfergus |
| (traditional). |
| I wish i was in carrickfergus |
| Only for nights in ballygrand |
| I would swim over the deepest ocean |
| Just to see my love before i die |
| But the sea is wide and i cannot swim over |
| Nor have i wings so i could fly |
| I wish i could meet a handsome boatman |
| To carry me over my love and i |
| In kilkenny it is reported |
| On marble stones as black as ink |
| With gold and silver i did support her |
| But i´ll sing no more till i´ve had a drink |
| Well i´m drunk today and i´m seldom sober |
| A handsome rover from town to town |
| But i am sick now my days are numbered |
| Come all you young men and lay me down |
| Come all you young men and lay me down |
