《Carrickfergus (Air)》歌词

[00:03:36] I wished I had you in Carrickfergus

[00:03:37] Only for nights in Ballygrand

[00:03:38] I would swim over the deepest ocean

[00:03:38] The deepest ocean to be by your side

[00:03:39] But the sea is wide and I can't swim over

[00:03:40] And neither have I wings to fly

[00:03:41] I wish I could find me a handy boatman

[00:03:42] To ferry me over to my love and die

[00:03:43] My childhood days bring back sad reflections

[00:03:44] Of happy times so long ago

[00:03:44] My girlhood friends and my own relations

[00:03:45] Have all passed on like the melting snow

[00:03:46] So I'll spend my days in endless roving

[00:03:47] Soft is the grass and my bed is free

[00:03:48] Oh to be home now in Carrickfergus

[00:03:48] On the long road down to the salty sea

[00:03:50] And in Kilkenny it is reported

[00:03:50] On marble stone there black as ink

[00:03:51] With gold and silver I did support her

[00:03:52] But I'll sing no more till I get a drink

[00:03:53] I'm drunk today and I'm rarely sober

[00:03:54] A handsome rover from town to town

[00:03:55] Oh but I am sick now and my days are numbered

[00:03:56] Come all ye young men and lay me down
