Carrickfergus Loreena Mckennit w/ The Dublinners I wish I was in Carrickfergus, only for nights in Ballygran I would swim over the deepest ocean, the deepest ocean for my love to find But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over and neither have I wings to fly If I could find me a handsome boatman to ferry me over to my love and die My childhood days bring back sad reflections of happy times I spent so long ago My boyhood friends and my own relations have all passed on now like melting snow But Ill spend my days in endless roaming soft is the grass my bed is free Ah to be back in Carrickfergus on that long road down to the sea And in Kilkenny it is reported there are marble stones as black as ink With gold and silver I would support her, but Ill sing no more now till I get a drink Im drunk today and Im seldom sober, a handsome rover from town to town Ah, but Im sick now, my days are numbered so come all ye young men and lay me down youtu.be/YwcFHfhczr8
