[00:04.81]I wish I was in Carrickfergus
[00:14.41]Only for nights in Ballygrand
[00:23.11]I would swim over the deepest ocean
[00:32.97]The deepest ocean for my love to find
[00:41.00]But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
[00:51.15]Neither have I the wings to fly
[01:00.31]If I could find me a handsome boatsman
[01:10.19]To ferry me over to my love and die
[01:18.79]My childhood days bring back sad reflections
[01:29.08]Of happy times spent so long ago
[01:36.70]My childhood friends and my own relations
[01:47.21]Have all passed on now like melting snow
[01:55.46]But I'll spend my days in endless roaming
[02:05.61]Soft is the grass,my bed is free
[02:14.37]Ah,to be back now in Carrickfergus
[02:25.16]On that long road down to the sea
[02:40.26]And in Kilkenny There it is reported
[02:52.83]There are marble stones there As black as any ink
[03:01.23]With gold and silver I would support her
[03:12.32]But I'll sing no more now Till I get a drink
[03:19.30]But I am drunk today And I'm seldom sober
[03:28.91]A handsome rover From town to town
[03:39.34]Oh...but I'm sick now And my days are numbered
[03:49.23]So come ye young men  And lay me down
