Carrickfergus

I wish I was - - - - in Car-rick- fer - gus
- - on-ly for nights - - - - in Bal-ly grant
- I would swim o - ver - - - the deep - est o - cean
- - on-ly for nights - - - - in Bal-ly grant
- but the sea is wide - - - - and I can't swim o - ver -
- nor have - I - - - - the wings to fly
- If I could find me - - - a- hand some boats - man
- - to fer-ry me ov-er - - - to my love and die

Now in Kilkenny it is reported
they got marble stones there as black as ink
with gold and silver, I would transport her
but I'll sing no more until I get a drink

I'm drunk today but I'm seldom sober
A handsome rover from town to town
Oh but I'm so sick now, my days are over
Come all ye young lads and lay me down.
