about

Irish folk song.

lyrics

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
Neither have I the wings to fly.
Oh come find me a handsome boatman
To ferry me over to my love and I.

Now in Kilkenny it is reported
On marble stones there as black as ink.
With gold and sliver I would support her
But I’ll say no more now til I get a drink.

For 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 wild boys and lay me down.
