Carrickfergus Lyrics
I wish I was in Carrickfergus
only for nights in Ballygrand
I would swim over the deepest oceans
just to see my love before I die.
but the sea is wide
and I cannot swim over
nor have I wings so I could fly
I wish i could meet
a handsome boatman
to carry me over
my love and I.
in Kilkenny it is reported
on marble stones as black as ink
with gold and silver I did support her
but I'll sing no more till I've had a drink
well, I'm drunk today
and I'm seldom sober
a handsome rover from town to town
but I am sick now
my days are numbered
come all you young men and lay me down ( x2)
only for nights in Ballygrand
I would swim over the deepest oceans
just to see my love before I die.
and I cannot swim over
nor have I wings so I could fly
I wish i could meet
a handsome boatman
to carry me over
my love and I.
on marble stones as black as ink
with gold and silver I did support her
but I'll sing no more till I've had a drink
and I'm seldom sober
a handsome rover from town to town
but I am sick now
my days are numbered
come all you young men and lay me down ( x2)
