Carrickfergus-Ronan Keating

[00:01.45]I wished I was in Carrickfergus' [00:10.83]Only for nights in Ballygrand' [00:19.61]I would swim over the deepest ocean' [00:28.94]The deepest ocean to be by your side. [00:36.82] [00:37.99]But the sea is wide and I can't swim over [00:48.87]And neither have I the wings to fly. [00:58.92]If I could find me a handy boatman [01:09.19]To ferry me over to my love and die. [01:17.06] [01:19.12]My childhood days bring back sad reflections [01:29.87]Of happy time spend so long ago. [01:39.82]My boyhood friends and my own relations. [01:50.63]Have all passed on like the melting snow. [01:59.35] [02:00.55]I'll spend my days in endless roving' [02:10.67]Soft is the grass and my bed is free. [02:21.09]Oh to be home now in Carrickfergus' [02:31.47]On the long road down to the salty sea. [02:40.14] [02:41.76]And in Kilkenny it is reported [02:52.41]On marble stone as black as ink' [03:02.31]With gold and silver I did support her [03:12.95]But I'll sing no more now till I get a drink. [03:21.51] [03:22.95]For I'm drunk today and I'm rarely sober' [03:33.66]A handsome rover from town to town. [03:44.11]Oh but I am sick now and my days are numbered [03:54.41]so come on ye young men and lay me down." [04:10.68]
