Lyrics

I wish I was in Carrickfergus, only for a night in Ballygrand
I would swim over the deepest ocean
The deepest ocean for my love to find
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim
Over, nor have I the wings to fly
But I wish I could find a handsome boatman
To ferry me over to my love and die
My childhood days bring back sad reflections
Of happy times I spent so long ago
My boyhood friends and my own relations
Have all passed on now like melting snow
But I'll spend my days in endless roaming
Soft is the grass, my bed is free
Oh, to be back now in Carrickfergus on that long road down to the sea
And in Kilkenny it is reported there
Are marble stones as black as ink
With gold and silver I would support her
But I'll sing no more now till I get a drink
Sure I'm drunk today and I'm seldom sober
A handsome rover from town to town
Ah, but I'm sick now and my days are numbered
So come all ye young men and lay me down
So come all ye young men and lay me down
Written by: Arr. Jim McCann, Ronan Hardiman, Trad. Arr. D. Downes
