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 boatman 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 Ballygrant. Aus Songtexte Mania
