I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Only for nights in Ballygrand
I would swim over the deepest ocean
Just to seem love again
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
Nor have I the wings to fly
I wish I could meet a handsome boatman
To carry me o'er my love to see
In Kilkenny it is reported
On marble stone as black as ink
With gold and silver I did support her
But I’ll sing no more till I have a drink
Well 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 ye young men and lay me down
