Carrickfergus (Arr. Pacey)

I wish I was in Carrickfergus
 In Carrickfergus
 I wish I was in Carrickfergus
 Is fada ón áit seo go bailigh chuain
 Sailing over the deep blue water
 I ndiaidh mo ghrá geal
 But the seas are deep love and I can't swim over
 And neither have I the wings to fly
 I wish I'd met with a handy boatman
 Who'd ferry over my love and I
 I wish I was in Carrickfergus
 In Carrickfergus
 Tá an chuach ag teacht is tá an teas ag tréagan
 'san tart ní féidir liom é do chlaoi
 's go bhfuil an leabhar orm ó shamain go féibear
 's ní bheidh sé réidh liom go féile mhichíl
 I'm seldom drunk though I'm never sober
 A handsome rover from town to town
 But now I'm dead and my days are over
 Come Molly a stóirín and lay me down
 I wish I was in Carrickfergus
