Lyrics for Carrickfergus by Van Morrison:
| | | Artist: | Van Morrison |
| | Album: | Irish Heartbeat (With The Chieftains | | Track: | Carrickfergus | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 259 | | | | Lyrics: | Traditional, arranged by Van Morrison/Paddy Moloney
I wished I had you in
Carrickfergus,
Only for nights in Ballygrand,
I would swim over the deepest
ocean,
The deepest ocean to be by your side.
But the sea is wide and I can't swim
over
And neither have I wings to fly.
I wish I could find me a handy boatman
To ferry
me over to my love and die.
My childhood days bring back sad reflections
Of happy
days so long ago.
My boyhood friends and my own relations.
Have all passed on like the
melting snow.
So I'll spend my days in endless roving,
Soft is the grass and my bed
is free.
Oh to be home now in Carrickfergus,
On the long road down to the salty sea.
And in Kilkenny it is reported
On marble stone there as black as ink,
With
gold and silver I did support her
But I'll sing no more now till I get a drink.
I'm
drunk today and I'm rarely sober,
A handsome rover from town to town.
Oh but I am sick now
and my days are numbered
Come all ye young men and lay me down | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
