[00:01.26]Carrickfergus - Loudon Wainwright III
[00:23.21]I wish I was in Carrickfergus
[00:35.19]only for nights nights in Ballygrand
[00:44.99]I would swim over the deepest ocean
[00:57.28]the deepest ocean for my love to find
[01:07.39]But the sea is wide
[01:12.37]and I cannot swim over
[01:18.29]and neither have I wings to fly
[01:28.52]If I could find me a handsome boatman
[01:39.55]to ferry me over
[01:44.66]over to my love and die
[01:50.08]My childhood days bring back
[01:56.37]sad reflections of happy times
[02:06.55]I spent so long ago
[02:11.14]My boyhood friends and my own relations
[02:23.33]have all passed on now like melting snow
[02:33.24]But I'll spend my days in endless roaming
[02:44.45]soft is the grass my bed is free
[02:54.87]Ah to be back now in Carrickfergus
[03:06.77]on that long road down to the salty sea
[03:16.68]And in Kilkenny There it is reported
[03:28.06]there are marble stones there
[03:32.95]As black as any ink
[03:38.04]With gold and silver
[03:44.34]I would support her
[03:49.60]But I'll sing no more now
[03:54.93]Till I get a drink
[03:59.91]But I am drunk today
[04:05.09]And I'm seldom sober
[04:11.32]A handsome rover
[04:15.83]From town to town
[04:21.15]Oh but I'm sick now
[04:27.57]And my days are numbered
[04:33.42]So come here young men
[04:38.63]And lay me down
