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 |
