Joan Baez - Carrickfergus Lyrics

Send "Carrickfergus" ringtone to your cell

I wished I had you in Carrickfergus

Only for nights in Ballygrand

I would swim over the deepest ocean

The deepest ocean to be by your side

But the sea is wide and I can't swim over

And neither have I wings to fly

I wish I could find me a handy boatman

To ferry me over to my love and die

These childhood places bring sad reflections

Of happy days spent so long ago

My girlhood friends and my own relations

Have all passed on like the melting snow

Now I spend my days in endless roving

Soft is the grass and my bed is free

Oh to be home now in Carrickfergus

On the long road down to the salty sea

And in Kilkenny it is reported

On marble stone as black as ink

With gold and silver he did support me

But I'll sing no more now till I've had a drink

Well I'm drunk today and I'm rarely sober

As I roam on from town to town

Oh but I am sick now and my days are numbered

Come all you young lads and lay me down

Come all you young lads and lay me down
