Capo 3rd fret
SOL LAm RE SOL MIm
I wish I was in Carrickfergus,
LAm RE DO SOL
Only for nights in Ballygrant
LAm RE SOL MIm
I would swim over the deepest ocean,
LAm RE DO SOL
Only for nights in Ballygrant,
SOL RE
But the sea is wide and I cannot cross over
MIm DO RE
And neither have I the wings to fly
LAm RE SOL
I wish i could meet a handsome boatsman
MIm LAm RE DO SOL
To ferry me over, my love to find.
But in Kilkenny, it is reported,
On marble stones there as black as ink
With gold and silver I would support her,
But I'll sing no more now 'till I get a drink.
For 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 numbered,
Come all you young men and lay me down.
