irish tenors - carrickfergus lyrics

i wish i was in carrickfergus
only for nights in ballygrand
i would swim over the deepest ocean
the deepest ocean, my love to find
but the sea is wide and i cannot swim over
and neither have i the wings to fly
if i could find me a handsome boatman
to ferry me over my love and i
my childhood days bring back sweet reflections
the happy times i spent so long ago
my boyhood friends and kind relations
have all past on now like melting snow
i’ll spend my da – ys an endless rover
soft is the gr-ss and sure, my bed is free
oh but to be back, in carrickfergus
to strike that lonely road, down by the sea
and in kilkenny it is reported
on marble stone there as black as ink
with gold and silver i would support her
but i’ll sing no more now til i get a drink
for 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 lay me down.
