Lyrics
But i ll spend my days in endless roaming, but the sea is wide and i can t swim over The, i would swim over the deepest ocean
but i ll spend my days in endless roaming
I m drunk today, i m drunk today
To be back now in carrickfergus, to be back now in carrickfergus The, i would swim over the deepest ocean
But then i m seldom sober, i wish i was in carrickfergus Chieftains, on that long road down to the sea
to be back now in carrickfergus
come all you young men and lay me down
Soft is the grass, my childhood days bring back sad reflections, but i ll sing no more now til i get a drink
And neither have i wings to fly, but the sea is wide and i can t swim over
And neither have i wings to fly, i would swim over the deepest ocean
but the sea is wide and i can t swim over
Come all you young men and lay me down, to be back now in carrickfergus
I would swim over the deepest ocean, but the sea is wide and i can t swim over
And in kilkenny, only for nights in ballygrand Carrickfergus, my childhood friends and my own relations
the deepest ocean for my love to find
Only for nights in ballygrand, it is reported
with gold and silver i would support her
I m drunk today, on that long road down to the sea
only for nights in ballygrand
To ferry me over to my love and die, but i ll spend my days in endless roaming
The deepest ocean for my love to find, i wish i was in carrickfergus
I wish i was in carrickfergus, to ferry me over to my love and die The, but i ll sing no more now til i get a drink
Soft is the grass, but then i m seldom sober
i wish i was in carrickfergus
there are marble stones as black as ink
Have all passed on now like melting snow, and in kilkenny The, if i could find me a handsome boatsman
If i could find me a handsome boatsman, but i ll spend my days in endless roaming
It is reported, have all passed on now like melting snow
My childhood friends and my own relations, but i ll sing no more now til i get a drink
only for nights in ballygrand
If i could find me a handsome boatsman, but then i m seldom sober Chieftains, but the sea is wide and i can t swim over
If i could find me a handsome boatsman, if i could find me a handsome boatsman
To be back now in carrickfergus, if i could find me a handsome boatsman Carrickfergus, my bed is free
and neither have i wings to fly
But i am sick now, but i am sick now
My childhood days bring back sad reflections, if i could find me a handsome boatsman
My childhood days bring back sad reflections, a handsome rover from town to town, i wish i was in carrickfergus
My childhood days bring back sad reflections, and in kilkenny
My bed is free, but then i m seldom sober
If i could find me a handsome boatsman, but the sea is wide and i can t swim over Carrickfergus, my childhood days bring back sad reflections
But then i m seldom sober, of happy times spent so long ago
i wish i was in carrickfergus
but i ll sing no more now til i get a drink
My bed is free, and neither have i wings to fly Carrickfergus, soft is the grass
only for nights in ballygrand
Soft is the grass, on that long road down to the sea
With gold and silver i would support her, but i ll spend my days in endless roaming
It is reported, to be back now in carrickfergus The, have all passed on now like melting snow
My childhood friends and my own relations, i wish i was in carrickfergus
my bed is free
it is reported
soft is the grass
With gold and silver i would support her, my childhood friends and my own relations Chieftains, and my days are numbered
