Carrickfergus (Remastered 1999) - Bryan Ferry

I wish I was in carrickfergus

Only for nights in ballygrand

I would swim over the deepest ocean

Just to see my love before I die

But the sea is wide

And I cannot swim over

I wish I could meet a

Handsome boatman

To carry me over my love and i

In kilkenny it is reported

On marble stones as black as ink

With gold and silver I did support her

But i'll sing no more till i've had a drink

Well i'm drunk today

And i'm seldom sober

A handsome rover from

But I am sick now my days

Are numbered

Come all you young men

And lay me down

Come all you young men

And lay me down
