Carrickfergus lyrics

I wish I was in Carrickfergus

is fada ón áit seo

go bailigh chuain

Sailing over the deep blue water

indiaidh mo ghrá geal

But the seas are deep love

And I can't swim over

And neither have I the wings to fly

I wish I'd met with a handy boatman

Who'd ferry over my love and I

I wish I was in Carrickfergus

Tá an chuach ag teacht

is tá an teas ag tréagan

'san tart ní féidir

liom é do chlaoi

's go bhfuil an leabhar

orm ó shamain go féibear

's ní bheidh sé réidh

liom go féile mhichíl

I´m seldom drunk, though I´m never sober

A handosme rover from town to town

But now I´m dead and my days are over

Come Molly a stóirín and lay me down

I wish I was in Carrickfergus
