I wish I was in Carrighfergus Only for nights in Ballygrant I would swim over the deepest ocean Only for nights in Ballygrant But the sea is wide and I can't get 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 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 'til I get a drink I'm drunk today but then I'm seldom sober A handsome rover from town to town Oh 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 Ballygrant
