Carrickfergus - Orla Fallon[00:00:00]
I wish I was in carrickfergus[00:00:05]
Only for nights in ballygrand[00:00:15]
I would swim over the deepest ocean[00:00:24]
The deepest ocean for my love to find[00:00:33]
But the sea is wide[00:00:42]
And I can't swim over[00:00:46]
And neither have I wings to fly[00:00:51]
If I could find me a handsome boatsman[00:01:01]
To ferry me over to my love and die[00:01:10]
My childhood days bring back sad reflections[00:01:19]
Of happy times spent so long ago[00:01:29]
My childhood friends and my own relations[00:01:38]
Have all passed on now like melting snow[00:01:48]
But I'll spend my days in endless roaming[00:01:56]
Soft is the grass my bed is free[00:02:06]
Ah to be back now in carrickfergus[00:02:15]
On that long road down to the sea[00:02:25]
And in kilkenny it is reported[00:02:43]
There are marble stones as black as ink[00:02:53]
With gold and silver I would support her[00:03:02]
But I'll sing no more now[00:03:11]
'Til I get a drink[00:03:15]
For I'm drunk today but then I'm seldom sober[00:03:20]
A handsome rover from town to town[00:03:30]
But I am sick now and my days are numbered[00:03:39]
So come all you young men[00:03:49]
And lay me down[00:03:54]
