Carrighfergus

I wish I was in Carrighfergus, Only for nights in Ballygrant I would swim over the deepest ocean, Only for nights in Ballygrant. But the sea is wide, and I can't swim over. Neither have I wings to fly, If I could find me a handsome boatsman To ferry me over to my love and die. Now in Kilkenny, it is reported, They've marble stones there as black as ink With gold and silver I would transport her But I'll sing no more now, till I get a drink. I'm drunk today, but I'm seldom sober. A handsome rover from town to town. Ah, but I am sick now, my days are over, Come all you young lads and lay me down. I wish I was in Carrighfergus, Only for nights in Ballygran.
