Carrickfergus

I wish I had you in Carrickfergus

Ni fad on ait sin go Baile an Chnain

Sailing over the deep blue ocean

The deepest ocean for my love to find

But the seas are deep love

And I can't swim over

And neither home have I wings to fly

I wish I'd met with a handy boatman

Who would ferry over my love

And in Kilkenny it is reported

There are marble stones 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 though I'm seldom sober

A handsome rover from town to town

But now I am dead and my days

Are over come Mollai a stoirin

Now lay me down
