Carrighfergus |
I wish I was in Carrighfergus |
Only for nights in Ballygrant |
I would swim over the deepest ocean |
Only for nights in Ballygrant |
But the sea is wide, and I can’t get over |
And neither have I wings to fly |
Or if I could find me a handsome boatsman |
To ferry me over to my love and die |
Now in Kilkenny, it is reported |
They’ve marble stones there as black as ink |
With gold and silver I would transport her |
But I’ll sing no more now, till I get a drink |
I’m drunk today, but then I’m seldom sober |
A handsome rover from town to town |
Ah, but I am sick now, my days are over |
Come all you young lads and lay me down |
I wish I was in Carrighfergus |
Only for nights in Ballygran |
