Karaoké Carrickfergus The Dubliners

I wish I was in Carrickfergus

Only for nights in Ballygrand

I would swim over the deepest ocean

Only for nights in Ballygrand

But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over

And neither have I the wings to fly

I wish I had a handsome boatman

To ferry me over my love and I

Now in Kilkenny it is reported

On marble stones there as black as ink

With gold and silver

I would support her

But I'll sing no more now 'till I get a drink

'Cos 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 you young men and lay me down
