Bryan Ferry - Carrickfergus

I wish I was in Carrickfergus,
Only for nights in Ballygrand,
I would swim over the deepest ocean,
Just to see my love before I die.

But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
Nor have I wings so I could fly.
I wish I could meet a handsome boatman
To carry me over, my love and I.

In Kilkenny it is reported,
On marble stones as black as ink,
With gold and silver I did support her
But I'll sing no more till I've had a drink.

Well I'm drunk today and I'm seldom sober,
A handsome rover from town to town.
But I am sick now, my days are numbered.
Come all you young men and lay me down.
