Carrickfergus

Dm G C I wish I was in Carrickfergus Dm G C Only for nights in Ballygran Dm G C I would swim over the deepest ocean F G C Only for nights in Ballygran. C Am Dm G But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over C Am Dm G And neither have I the wings to fly Dm G C I wish I had a handsome boatman Dm G C To ferry me over my love and I. Now in Kilkenny, it is reported On marble stones there as black as ink With gold and silver I would support her But I'll sing no more now till I get a drink 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 young men and lay me down.
