I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Only four nights in Ballygrand
I would swim over the deepest ocean
The deepest ocean to be by your side
But the sea is wide and I can't swim over
Nor have I the wings to fly
If I could find me a handy boatman
To ferry me over to my love and die
My childhood days bring back sad reflections
Of happy time spend so long ago
My boyhood friends and my own relations
Have all passed on now like the melting snow
I'll spend my days in endless roving
Soft is the grass and my bed is free
Oh, to be home now in Carrickfergus
On the long road down to the salty sea
And in Kilkenny it is reported
On marble stones as black as ink
With gold and silver I did support her
But I'll sing no more now 'til I get a drink
For I'm drunk today and I'm rarely sober
A handsome rover from town to town
Oh, but I am sick now and my days are numbered
So, come on 'ye young men and lay me down
Only four nights in Ballygrand
I would swim over the deepest ocean
The deepest ocean to be by your side
But the sea is wide and I can't swim over
Nor have I the wings to fly
If I could find me a handy boatman
To ferry me over to my love and die
My childhood days bring back sad reflections
Of happy time spend so long ago
My boyhood friends and my own relations
Have all passed on now like the melting snow
I'll spend my days in endless roving
Soft is the grass and my bed is free
Oh, to be home now in Carrickfergus
On the long road down to the salty sea
And in Kilkenny it is reported
On marble stones as black as ink
With gold and silver I did support her
But I'll sing no more now 'til I get a drink
For I'm drunk today and I'm rarely sober
A handsome rover from town to town
Oh, but I am sick now and my days are numbered
So, come on 'ye young men and lay me down
