1
I wished I had you in Carrickfergus
2
Only for nights in Ballygrand
3
I would swim over the deepest ocean
4
The deepest ocean to be by your side
5
But the sea is wide and I can't swim over
6
And neither have I wings to fly
7
I wish I could find me a handy boatman
8
To ferry me over to my love and die
9
My childhood days bring back sad reflections
10
Of happy times so long ago
11
My girlhood friends and my own relations
12
Have all passed on like the melting snow
13
So I'll spend my days in endless roving
14
Soft is the grass and my bed is free
15
Oh, to be home now in Carrickfergus
16
On the long road down to the salty sea
17
And in Kilkenny it is reported
18
On marble stone there black as ink
19
With gold and silver I did support her
20
But I'll sing no more till I get a drink
21
I'm drunk today and I'm rarely sober
22
A handsome rover from town to town
23
Oh, but I am sick now and my days are numbered
24
Come all ye young men and lay me down
Joan Baez : Carrickfergus, Bratislava 19...
