I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Only for nights in Ballygrand
I would swim over the deepest ocean
Only for nights in Ballygrand<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
And neither have I the wings to fly
I wish I had a handsome boatsman
To ferry me over my love and I<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On marble stone there as black as ink
With gold and silver I would support her
But I’ll sing no more now til I get a drink<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A handsome rover from town to town
Ah but I’m sick now my days are numbered
Come all me young men and lay me down
