I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Only for nights in Ballygrand
I would swim over the deepest ocean
Only for nights in Ballygrand

But the sea is wide and I can't swim over
Nor do I have the wings to fly
If I could find me a handsome boatman
To ferry me over, to my love and I

Now in Killkenny it is reported
They marble stones 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 and I'm seldom sober
A handsome rover from town to town
Ah but i'm sick now my days are over
Come all ye young lads and lay me down

I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Only for nights in Ballygrand
