Bryan Ferry Carrickfergus

(Traditional). I wish I was in Carrickfergus Only for nights in Ballygrand I would swim over the deepest ocean Just to see my love before I die But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over Nor have I wings so I could fly I wish I could meet a handsome boatman To carry me over my love and I 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 till I´ve had a drink Well I´m drunk today and I´m seldom sober A handsome rover from town to town But I am sick now my days are numbered Come all you young men and lay me down Come all you young men and lay me down
