Carrickfergus歌詞

Carrickfergus - Loudon Wainwright III
I wish I was in Carrickfergus
only for nights 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 cannot swim over
and neither have I wings to fly
If I could find me a handsome boatman
to ferry me over
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 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 salty sea
And in Kilkenny There it is reported
there are marble stones there
As black as any ink
With gold and silver
I would support her
But I'll sing no more now
Till I get a drink
But I am drunk today
And I'm seldom sober
A handsome rover
From town to town
Oh but I'm sick now
And my days are numbered
So come here young men
And lay me down
