Carrickfergus lyrics
I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Only for nights in Ballygrand
I would swim over the deepest ocean
The deepest ocean for my love to find
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
Neither have I the wings to fly
If I could find me a handsome boatman
To ferry me over to my love and die
My childhood days bring back sad reflections
Of happy times spent so long ago
My childhood friends and my own relations
Have all passed on now like melting snow
But I'll spend my days in endless roaming
Soft is the grass, my bed is free
Ah, to be back now in Carrickfergus
On that long road down to the sea
I'm drunk today and I'm seldom sober
A handsome rover from town to town
But I am sick now, and my days are numbered
Come all you young men and lay me down
Part of these releases

Very Touching song, sang with great feeling and Beautifully, and whilst playing the harp too! Wonderfully talented lady. Different version to Charlotte Church.
