Carrickfergus

I wish I had you in Carrickfergus
Ni fad on ait sin go Baile an Chnain
Sailing over the deep blue ocean
The deepest ocean for my love to find
But the seas are deep love
And I can't swim over
And neither home have I wings to fly
I wish I'd met with a handy boatman
Who would ferry over my love
And in Kilkenny it is reported
There are marble stones as black as ink
With gold and silver I would support her
But I'll sing no more now till I get a drink
I'm drunk today though I'm seldom sober
A handsome rover from town to town
But now I am dead and my days
Are over come Mollai a stoirin
Now lay me down
