Carrickfergus歌词

[00:22]I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Only for nights in Ballygrand
[00:43]I would swim over the deepest ocean
the deepest ocean for my love to find
[01:05]But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
And neither have I wings to fly
[01:27]If I could find me a handsome boatman
[01:38]To ferry me over over to my love and I
[01:49]My childhood days bring back sad reflections
[02:01]Of happy time there spent so long ago
[02:22]Have all passed on now like the melting snow
[02:34]So I'll spend my days in this endless roving
[02:43]Soft is the grass and shore my bed is free
[02:54]But to be home now in carrickfergus
[03:06]On the long road down to the salty sea
[03:16]And in Kilkenny there it is reported
[03:26]On marble stone there as black as ink
[03:37]With gold and silver I would support her
[03:48]But I'll sing no more now till I get a drink
[03:59]For I'm drunk today and I'm seldom sober
[04:10]The handsome rover from town to town
[04:21]Ah but I am sick now my days are numbered
[04:31]so come here young men and lay me down
[04:45]
