Carrickfergus |
I wish I was in Carrickfergus |
Only for nights now in Ballygran |
I would swim over the deepest ocean |
The deepest ocean for my love to find |
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over |
And neither have I the wings to fly |
If I could find me a lonesome boatman |
To ferry me over my love and I |
My childhood days bring back sad reflections |
Of happy times I spent so long ago |
My boyhood friends and my own relations |
Have all passed on now like the melted snow |
So I’ll spend my days in endless roving |
Soft is the grass my bed is free |
Ah, to be home now in Carrickfergus |
On that long road down to the sea |
And 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 till I get a drink |
For I’m drunk today sure I’m seldom sober |
A handsome rover from town to town |
Ah but I’m sick now and my days are numbered |
Come all ye young men and lay me down |
