Carrickfergus - Solo Vocal

[00:00.52] I wish I was in Carrickfergus
[00:13.76] Only for nights in Ballygrand
[00:26.15] I would swim over the deepest ocean
[00:39.06] The deepest ocean my love to find
[00:50.82] But the sea is wide and I can't swim over
[01:04.25] And neither have I the wings to fly
[01:17.03] I wish I had me a handy boatman
[01:29.32] To ferry me over to my love and die
[01:40.88]
[01:48.64] My childhood days bring back sad reflections
[02:02.00] Of happy times oh so long ago
[02:12.10]
[02:14.11] My boyhood friends and my own relations
[02:27.41] Have all passed on now like the melting snow
[02:38.93] So I spend my days in endless roving
[02:52.93] Soft is the grass and my bed is free
[03:05.19] But oh to be home now in Carrickfergus
[03:18.58] On that old road running down to the sea
[03:29.06]
[03:37.07] Now in Kilkenny love is recorded
[03:50.45] On darkest marble as black as ink
[04:00.35]
[04:02.60] With gold and silver I did support her
[04:15.03] Oh but I'll sing no more now until I get a drink
[04:27.54] For I'm drunk today and I'm seldom sober
[04:40.46] I'm some rover from town to town
[04:53.90] Oh but I'm sick now my days are numbered
[05:06.88] Come all you young men and lay me down
[05:17.30] Oh come all you young men and lay me down
[05:30.49] Oh come all you young men and lay me down
[05:50.67]
[05:52.96] Down please
[06:12.14]
