Capo 3rd fret
G Am D G Em
I wish I was in Carrickfergus,
Am D C GOnly for nights in Ballygrant
I would swim over the deepest ocean,
Am D C GOnly for nights in Ballygrant,
G DBut the sea is wide and I cannot cross over
And neither have I the wings to fly
Am D GI wish i could meet a handsome boatsman
Em Am D C GTo ferry me over, my love to find.
But in Kilkenny, it is reported,
On marble stones there as black as ink
With gold and silver I would support her,
But I'll sing no more now 'till I get a drink.
For i'm drunk today, and i'm seldom sober
A handsome rover from town to town,
Ah, but I'm sick now, my days are numbered,
Come all you young men and lay me down.
