[00:00.00]Carrickfergus - Orla Fallon
[00:05.27]I wish I was in carrickfergus
[00:15.09]Only for nights in ballygrand
[00:23.34]
[00:24.05]I would swim over the deepest ocean
[00:32.82]
[00:33.40]The deepest ocean for my love to find
[00:41.66]
[00:42.21]But the sea is wide
[00:46.83]And I can't swim over
[00:51.79]And neither have I wings to fly
[01:01.17]If I could find me a handsome boatsman
[01:10.43]To ferry me over to my love and die
[01:19.25]
[01:19.89]My childhood days bring back sad reflections
[01:28.95]
[01:29.61]Of happy times spent so long ago
[01:37.49]
[01:38.48]My childhood friends and my own relations
[01:47.65]
[01:48.32]Have all passed on now like melting snow
[01:56.17]
[01:56.73]But I'll spend my days in endless roaming
[02:06.04]Soft is the grass my bed is free
[02:15.40]Ah to be back now in carrickfergus
[02:25.30]On that long road down to the sea
[02:33.52]
[02:43.24]And in kilkenny it is reported
[02:52.70]
[02:53.22]There are marble stones as black as ink
[03:00.99]
[03:02.23]With gold and silver I would support her
[03:11.66]But I'll sing no more now
[03:14.97]
[03:15.95]'Til I get a drink
[03:19.67]
[03:20.71]For I'm drunk today but then I'm seldom sober
[03:29.74]
[03:30.25]A handsome rover from town to town
[03:38.97]
[03:39.64]But I am sick now and my days are numbered
[03:48.52]
[03:49.19]So come all you young men
[03:53.58]
[03:54.48]And lay me down
