Lyrics

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 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 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 Ballygrant.
