I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Only for nights in Ballygrand
I would swim over the deepest ocean
The deepest ocean my love to find.
But the sea is wide and I can't swim over
And neither have I wings to fly
I wish I could meet a handsome boatman
To ferry me over to my love and die.

Ah, but in Kilkenny it is reported
They have marble stones there as black as ink.
With gold and silver I did support her
But I'll sing no more until I get a drink
I'm drunk today and I'm seldom sober
A handsome rover from town to town
Ah, but I'm sick now, my days are numbered
Come all ye young men and lay me down
