the celtic tenors - carrickfergus lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i wish i was in carrickfergus
only for nights in ballygrand
i would swim over the deepest ocean
over the ocean, for my love to find

[chorus 1]
but the sea is wide and i can’t swim over
nor have i the wings to fly

[post+chorus]
if i could find me a handsome boatman
to ferry me over
my love and i

[verse 2]
my childhood days bring back sad reflections
of happy times i spent so long ago
my boyhood friends and my own relations
have all past on now like melting snow

[chorus 2]
but i spend my days in endless roaming
soft is the grass, my bed is free

[post+chorus]
ah to be back now, in carrickfergus
on that long road, down to the sea
[verse 3]
now 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

[chorus 3]
‘cause i’m drunk today and i’m seldom sober
a handsome rover from town to town

[outro]
ah but i’m sick now and my days are numbered
come all ye young maids, and lay me down
come all ye young maids, and lay me down
