Carrighfergus
I wish I was in CarrighfergusOnly for nights in BallygrantI would swim over the deepest oceanOnly for nights in Ballygrant.
But the sea is wide, and I can't swim overNeither have I wings to flyIf I could find me a handsome boatmanTo ferry me over to my love and die.
Now in Kilkenny, it is reportedThey've marble stones there as black as inkWith gold and silver I would transport herBut I'll sing no more now, till I get a drink
I'm drunk today, but I'm seldom soberA handsome rover from town to townAh, but I am sick now, my days are overCome all you young lads and lay me down.
I wish I was in CarrighfergusOnly for nights in Ballygrant.
