Carrickfergus Lyrics
Carrickfergus - 林帆
I wished I was in Carrickfergus
Only for nights in Ballygrand
I would swim over the deepest ocean
The deepest ocean for my love to fly
But the sea is wide and I can't not over
Neither have I the wings to fly
If I could find me a handy boatman
To ferry me over to my love and die
My childhood days bring back sad reflections
Of happy times spend so long ago
My childhood friends and my own relations
Have all passed on like the melting snow
But I'll spend my days in endless roving
Soft is the grass my bed is free
Oh to be home now in Carrickfergus
On the long road down to the sea
I'm drunk today and I'm rarely sober
A handsome rover from town to town
But I am sick now and my days are numbered
Come on you young men and lay me down
