Carrickfergus |
I wish I was in Carrickfergus |
Only for nights in Ballygrand |
I would swim over the deepest ocean |
The deepest ocean for my love to find |
But the sea is wide and I can’t swim over |
And neither have I wings to fly |
If I could find me a handsome boatsman |
To ferry me over to my love and die |
My childhood days bring back sad reflections |
Of happy times spent so long ago |
My childhood friends and my own relations |
Have all passed on now like melting snow |
But I’ll spend my days in endless roaming |
Soft is the grass, my bed is free |
Ah, to be back now in Carrickfergus |
On that long road down to the sea |
And in Kilkenny, it is reported |
There are marble stones as black as ink |
With gold and silver I would support her |
But I’ll sing no more now 'til I get a drink |
I’m drunk today, but then I’m seldom sober |
A handsome rover from town to town |
But I am sick now, and my days are numbered |
So, come all you young men and lay me down |
