1
I wished I had you in Carrickfergus
2
Only for nights in Ballygrand
3
I would swim over the deepest ocean
4
The deepest ocean to be by your side
5
But the sea is wide and I can't swim over
6
And neither have I wings to fly
7
I wish I could find me a handy boatman
8
To ferry me over to my love and die
9
These childhood places bring sad reflections
10
Of happy days spent so long ago
11
My girlhood friends and my own relations
12
Have all passed on like the melting snow
13
Now, I spend my days in endless roving
14
Soft is the grass and my bed is free
15
Oh, to be home now in Carrickfergus
16
On the long road down to the salty sea
17
And in Kilkenny it is reported
18
On marble stone as black as ink
19
With gold and silver he did support me
20
But I'll sing no more now till I've had a drink
21
Well, I'm drunk today and I'm rarely sober
22
As I roam on from town to town
23
Oh, but I am sick now and my days are numbered
24
Come all you young lads and lay me down
25
Come all you young lads and lay me down
