Carrighfergus

<br>I wish I was in Carrighfergus,<br>Only for nights in Ballygrant.<br>I would swim over the deepest ocean,<br>Only for nights in Ballygrant.<br><br>But the sea is wide, and I can`t swim over.<br>Neither have I wings to fly.<br>If I could find me a handsome boatsman<br>To ferry me over to my love and die.<br><br>Now in Kilkenny, it is reported,<br>They`ve marble stones there as black as ink.<br>With gold and silver I would transport her<br>But I`ll sing no more now, till I get a drink.<br><br>I`m drunk today, but I`m seldom sober.<br>A handsome rover from town to town.<br>Ah, but I am sick now, my days are over,<br>Come all you young lads and lay me down.<br><br>I wish I was in Carrighfergus,<br>Only for nights in Ballygrant.
