I Wish I Was In Carrighfergus

Only For Nights In Ballygrant

I Would Swim Over The Deepest Ocean

Only For Nights In Ballygrant



But The Sea Is Wide, And I Can't Swim Over

Neither Have I Wings To Fly

If I Could Find Me A Handsome Boatsman

To Ferry Me Over To My Love And Die



Now In Kilkenny, It Is Reported

They've Marble Stones There Black As Ink

With Gold And Silver I Would Transport Her

But I'll Sing No More Now Till I Get A Drink



I'm Drunk Today But I'm Seldom Sober

A Handsome Rover From Town To Town

Ah, But I Am Sick Now, My Days Are Over

Come All You Young Lads And Lay Me Down



I Wish I Was In Carrighfergus

Only For Nights In Ballygrant.
