Carrickfergus

I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Bbm E A
Only for nights in Ballygrant
D E A F#m
I would swim over the deepest ocean
Bbm E A
Only for nights in Ballygrant
F#m E
But the sea is wide and I can't swim over
A D E
Nor have I the wings to fly
D E A F#m
If I could find me a handsome boatsman
Bbm E A
To ferry me over to my love and die
Now in Kilkenny, it is reported
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.
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
So come all ye young lads and lay me down
