"Carrickfergus (Funkhaus Version) (Live)" lyrics

Thank you

I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Only for nights in Ballygrand
I would swim over the deepest ocean
The deepest ocean, my love to find

For the sea is wide and I can't swim over
And neither have I the wings to fly
I wish I left with a handsome boatman
Who'd ferry me over to my love and I

My childhood days bring back fond reflections
Of happy times that spent long ago
My boyhood friends and my own relations
Have all passed on now like melting snow

And I'll spend my days in endless roamin'
The grass is green and my, my bed is free
Oh, to be back now in Carrickfergus
Where the winding road leads down to the sea

And in Kilkenny, it is reported
On marble stone there as black as ink
With gold and silver, I would support her
But I'll sing no more now till I get a drink

For I'm drunk today and I'm seldom sober
A handsome rover from town to town
Oh, but I am sick now and my days are numbered
Come all ye young men and lay me down
Come all ye young men and lay me down

Thank you
