I wish Iwas in Carrick-fergus Only fornights inBally-grant, I would swimover the deepestocean, Only fornights inBally-grant, But the sea iswide and I cannot crossover And neitherhave I the wings tofly I wish I couldmeet a handsomeboatsman, To ferry meover, mylove tofind.
 * Verse 1

But in Kil-kenny, it is re-ported,, On marblestones there as}black asink. With gold andsilver I would sup-port her, But I´ll sing nomore now till Iget adrink, For I'm drunk to-day, and I'm seldomsober, A handsomerover from town totown, Ah, but I'msick now, my days arenumbered, Come all youyoung men andlay medown.
 * Verse 2
