[00:00:01] I wished I had you in Carrickfergus

[00:00:09] Only for nights in Ballygrand

[00:00:14] I would swim over the deepest ocean

[00:00:21] The deepest ocean to be by your side

[00:00:29] But the sea is wide and I can't swim over

[00:00:41] And neither have I wings to fly

[00:00:52] I wish I could find me a handy boatman

[00:01:03] To ferry me over to my love and die

[00:01:14] My childhood days bring back sad reflections

[00:01:26] Of happy days so long ago

[00:01:36] My boyhood friends and my own relations

[00:01:47] Have all passed on like the melting snow

[00:01:58] So I'll spend my days in endless roving

[00:02:09] Soft is the grass and my bed is free

[00:02:20] Oh to be home now in Carrickfergus

[00:02:32] On the long road down to the salty sea

[00:02:43] And in Kilkenny it is reported

[00:02:53] On marble stone there as black as ink

[00:03:03] With gold and silver I did support her

[00:03:15] But I'll sing no more now till I get a drink

[00:03:25] I'm drunk today and I'm rarely sober

[00:03:36] A handsome rover from town to town

[00:03:46] Oh but I am sick now and my days are numbered

[00:03:57] Come all ye young men and lay me down
