I wish I was in Carrickfergus

Only for nights in Ballygrand

          A             D    Dsus4 D
I would swim over the deepest ocean

      G   A     G       D    Dsus4 D
Just to see my love before I die

N.C.            D  Bm              A      Asus4 A
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over

            D   Bm            A  Asus4 A
Nor have I wings so I could fly

To carry me over my love and I

In Kilkenny it is reported

      G   A     G       D    Dsus4 D
On marble stones as black as ink

          A             D    Dsus4 D
With gold and silver I did support her

          G   A     G       D        Dsus4 D
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 town to town 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 D Dsus4 ...
