Carrickfergus歌詞

Carrickfergus - Orla Fallon
I wish I was in carrickfergus
Only for nights in ballygrand
I would swim over the deepest ocean
The deepest ocean for my love to find
But the sea is wide
And I can't swim over
And neither have I wings to fly
If I could find me a handsome boatsman
To ferry me over to my love and die
My childhood days bring back sad reflections
Of happy times spent so long ago
My childhood friends and my own relations
Have all passed on now like melting snow
But I'll spend my days in endless roaming
Soft is the grass my bed is free
Ah to be back now 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 I'll sing no more now
'Til I get a drink
For I'm drunk today but then I'm seldom sober
A handsome rover from town to town
But I am sick now and my days are numbered
So come all you young men
And lay me down
