Carrickfergus Lyrics by Gilles Servat

Sur les quais de Dublin

1996

I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Only for nights in Ballygran
I would swim over the deepest ocean
I would swin over my love to find
But the sea is wide and I can't swim over
And neither have I wings to fly
If I could find me a handsome boatman
To carry me over my love and I
And in Kilkenny it is reported
They've marble stone there as black as ink
With gold and silver I would support her
But I sing no more till I get a drink
I'm drunk today and I'm seldom sober
A handsome rover from town to town
Ah but I am sick now my days are numbered
Come on ye young man and lay me down
But the sea is wide and I can't swim over
And neither have I wings to fly
If I could find me a handsome boatman
To carry me over my love and I
