I wished I had you in Carrickfergus [00:00:00]
Only for nights in Ballygrand [00:00:12]
I would swim over the deepest ocean [00:00:21]
The deepest ocean to be by your side [00:00:34]
But the sea is wide and I can't swim over[00:00:45]
And neither have I wings to fly [00:00:58]
I wish I could find me a handy boatman[00:01:11]
To ferry me over to my love and die [00:01:23]
My childhood days bring back sad reflections[00:01:36]
Of happy time so long ago [00:01:50]
My boyhood friends and my own relations [00:02:01]
Have all passed on like the melting snow [00:02:15]
So I'll spend my days in endless roving [00:02:27]
Soft is the grass and my bed is free [00:02:40]
Oh to be home now in Carrickfergus [00:02:52]
On the long road down to the salty sea [00:03:06]
And in Kilkenny it is reported[00:03:20]
On marble stone there as black as ink [00:03:34]
With gold and silver I did support her[00:03:46]
But I'll sing no more now till I get a drink [00:03:59]
I'm drunk today and I'm rarely sober [00:04:12]
A handsome rover from town to town [00:04:25]
Oh but I am sick now[00:04:38]
And my days are numbered[00:04:45]
Come all ye young men and lay me down[00:04:52]
