Lyrics

I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Only for nights in Ballygrand
I would swim over the deepest ocean
Only for nights in Ballygrand
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
And neither have I the wings to fly
I wish I could find me a handsome boatman
To ferry me over my love and I
For it's in Kilkenny it is reported
On marble stones there as black as ink
With gold and silver I would 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 and my days they're numbered
So come all ye young men and lay me down
Written by: Campbell, Reilly
