Dm G7 C Am
1.I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Dm G7 C F C
only for nights in Ballygrand
Dm G7 C Am
I would swim over the deepest ocean
Dm C F C
only for nights in Ballygrand
G C Am G Dm7 G7
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
C Am F G Dm7 G
and neither have I the wings to fly
Dm G7 C Am
I wish I had a handsome boatman
Dm G7 C F C
to ferry me over, my love and I
Dm G7 C Am
2.Now in Kilkenny it is reported
Dm G7 C F C
on marblestones and as black as ink
Dm G7 C Am
with gold and silver I would support her,
Dm G7 C F C
but I´ll sing no more now,´til I get a drink.
G C Am G Dm7 G7
´Cause I am drunk today and I´m seldom sober,
C Am F G Dm7 G
a handsome rover from town to town.
Dm G7 C Am
Ah,but I´m sick now, and my days are numbered.
Dm G7 C F C
Come all ye young men, and lay me down.
