Loreena Mckennitt - Carrighfergus lyrics

I wish I was in Carrighfergus,

Only for nights in Ballygran

I would swim over the deepest ocean,

Only for nights in Ballygrant.

But the sea is wide, and I can`t swim over.

Neither have I wings to fly,

If I could find me a handsome boatsman

To ferry me over to my love and die.

Now in Kilkenny, it is reported,

They`ve marble stones there as black as ink

With gold and silver I would transport her

But I`ll sing no more now, till I get a drink.

I`m drunk today, but I`m seldom sober.

A handsome rover from town to town.

Ah, but I am sick now, my days are over,

Come all you young lads and lay me down.

I wish I was in Carrighfergus,

Only for nights in Ballygran.
