Carrickfergus
(Intro Instrumental C G C)
I wish I was in Carrickfergus only for one night in Ballygrand
I would swim over the deepest ocean only for one night in Ballygrand
Ah but the sea is wide and I cannot swim over and neither have I wings to fly
I wish I could meet a handsome boatman to ferry me over to my love and die

My boyhood days bring back sad reflections of happy hours I spent so long ago
My boyhood friends and my own relations are all passed on now like the drifting snow
But I'll spend my days, an endless rover, soft is the grass I walk, my bed is free
Ah to be back now in Carrickfergus on that long road down to the sea

But in Kilkenny it is reported, they have marble stones there as black as ink
With gold and silver I did support her but I'll sing no more now till I get a drink
I'm drunk today and I'm seldom sober, a handsome rover from town to town
Ah but I'm sick now, my days are numbered, come all ye young men and I'll lay me down
