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 Nor have I wings so I could fly 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 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
