Death At The Bar |
I wish I was in Carrickfergus |
Only for nights in Ballygrand |
I would swim over the deepest ocean |
Only to be there, to be by your side |
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 to my love and die |
My childhood days bring back sad reflections |
Of happy days spent so long ago |
My boyhood friends and my own relations |
Have all passed on now like a melting of snow |
So I’ll spend my days in endless roaming |
Soft is the grass, and my bed is free |
Ah, to be home now in Carrickfergus |
On that long road down to the salty sea |
And in Kilkenny it is reported |
On marble stone there as black as ink |
With gold and silver I did support her |
But I’ll sing no more now til I get a drink |
And I’m drunk today and I’m seldom sober |
A handsome rover from town to town |
Oh but I’m sick now and my days are numbered |
Come all me young men and lay me down |
I wish I had you in Carrickfergus |
Only for nights in Ballygrand |
I would swim over the deepest ocean |
Only to be there, to be by your side |
