I wish I was in Carrighfergus, Only for nights in Bellygrant. I would swim over the deepest oceans, Only for nights in Bellygrant.
But the sea is wide, and I can't get over. Neither have I wings to fly. Oh, if I could find 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 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 Bellygrant.
