I wished I had you in Carrickfergus[00:00:01]
Only for nights in Ballygrand[00:00:09]
I would swim over the deepest ocean[00:00:14]
The deepest ocean to be by your side[00:00:21]
But the sea is wide and I can't swim over[00:00:29]
And neither have I wings to fly[00:00:41]
I wish I could find me a handy boatman[00:00:52]
To ferry me over to my love and die[00:01:03]
My childhood days bring back sad reflections[00:01:14]
Of happy days so long ago[00:01:26]
My boyhood friends and my own relations[00:01:36]
Have all passed on like the melting snow[00:01:47]
So I'll spend my days in endless roving[00:01:58]
Soft is the grass and my bed is free[00:02:09]
Oh to be home now in Carrickfergus[00:02:20]
On the long road down to the salty sea[00:02:32]
And in Kilkenny it is reported[00:02:43]
On marble stone there as black as ink[00:02:53]
With gold and silver I did support her[00:03:03]
But I'll sing no more now till I get a drink[00:03:15]
I'm drunk today and I'm rarely sober[00:03:25]
A handsome rover from town to town[00:03:36]
Oh but I am sick now and my days are numbered[00:03:46]
Come all ye young men and lay me down[00:03:57]
