  G      Am  D          G      Em
I wish I was  in Carrickfergus,
         Am    D   C    G    Gsus4 G
only for nights in Ballygran
             Am  D            G     Em
I would swim over the deepest ocean,
         Am    D   C    G   Gsus4 G
only for nights in Ballygran
 
        G      Em       
But the sea is wide and 
  C           D
I cannot swim over
            Em   G     C        D
And neither have I the wings to fly
               Am  D   
I wish I could find me 
           G       Em
a handsome boatsman
            Am   D
To ferry me over, 
      C        G
to my love and die.
 
    G     Am    D        G      Em
But in Kilkenny, it is reported,
          Am     D     
On marble stones there 
   C        G   Gsus4 G
as black as ink
              Am    D
With gold and silver 
           G        Em
I would support her,
                 Am   D    
But I'll sing no more now, 
        C     G     C G
'till I get a drink. 
 
        G       Em   
For I'm drunk today, 
        C      D
and I'm seldom sober,
           Em G       C       D
A handsome rover from town to town
            Am       D
Ah, but I'm sick now, 
            G        Gsus4 G
my days are numbered,
             Am    D       C      G
Come all you young men and lay me down.
