Songtext von Carrickfergus

I wish I had you in Carrickfergus Ni fad on ait sin go Baile an Chnain Sailing over the deep blue ocean The deepest ocean for my love to find But the seas are deep love And I can't swim over And neither home have I wings to fly I wish I'd met with a handy boatman Who would ferry over my love And in Kilkenny it is reported There are marble stones as black as ink With gold and silver I would support her But I'll sing no more now till I get a drink I'm drunk today though I'm seldom sober A handsome rover from town to town But now I am dead and my days Are over come Mollai a stoirin Now lay me down
