Carrickfergus Dubliners
I wish I [Bm]was [E]in Carrickf[A]ergus,[F#m] only for ni[Bm]ghts[E] in Ballygra[A]nt[D] [A]
I would swim [Bm]over [E]the deepest o[A]cean,[F#m] the deepest ocean [Bm]s for my [E]love to find[D] [A]
But t[E]he sea is w[A]ide[F#m] and I cannot swim [E]over,and neither h[A]ave [F#m]I th[D]e wings t[E]o fly

My Child hood days bring back sad reflections
of happy times now I spent so long ago
My boyhood friends and my own relations
have all passed on now like the melting snow
but I'll spend my days in endless roaming
soft is the grass my bed if free
ah to be back nnow in Carrickfergus
on that long road down to the sea
and in Kilkenny it was reported
on marble stone there as black as ink
with gold and silver i will support her
but I'll sing no more now till I get a drink.
I'm drunk today and I am seldom sober a
a handsome rover from town to town
Ah but I'm sick now and my days are numbered
so come all ye young men and lay me down
