Carrighfergus Lyrics by Loreena McKennitt

Elemental

0

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 get over
And neither have I wings to fly
Or 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 as 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 then 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 Ballygran
