Lyric discussion by jimparker123 

One of the most haunting songs of desperate love and loss ever written and recorded. I've got 27 different versions of "Carrickfergus" in my collection and, while I don't believe any two of them have precisely the same lyrics, every one gets the same idea across, beautifully. My favorite? Brian Kennedy's version, without question. Listen to it here: last.fm/music/Brian+Kennedy
