[00:11.91]I wish I was in Carrickfergus
[00:21.30]Only for nights in Ballygrand
[00:35.40]I would swim over the deepest ocean
[00:46.05]The deepest ocean, my love to find
[01:06.57]But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
[01:16.65]And neither have I the wings to fly
[01:50.61]If I could find me a handsome boatman
[01:51.66]To ferry me over my love and I
[02:03.00]My childhood days bring back sweet reflections
[02:18.87]The happy times I spent so long ago
[02:32.97]My boyhood friends and kind relations
[02:53.31]Have all past on now like melting snow
[02:59.67]I'll spend my da - ys an endless rover
[03:14.13]Soft is the grass and sure, my bed is free
[03:25.05]Oh but to be back, in carrickfergus
[03:31.02]To strike that lonely road, down by the sea
[04:10.11]And in kilkenny it is reported
[04:13.32]On marble stone there as black as ink
[04:30.99]With gold and silver I would support her
[04:45.51]But I'll sing no more now til I get a drink
[04:55.11]For I'm drunk today and I'm seldom sober
[05:04.65]A handsome rover from town to town
[05:09.21]Ah but I'm sick now my days are numbered
[05:42.72]Come all ye young men and lay me down
