Carrickfergus Lyrics - Mythology - Celtic Thunder

I wish I was in Carrickfergus 

Only for nights in Ballygran 

I would swim over the deepest ocean 

The deepest ocean for my love to find 

But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over 

And nor have I the wings to fly 

If I could find me a lonesome boatman 

To ferry me over my love and I 

My childhood days bring back sad reflections 

Of happy time I spent so long ago 

My boyhood friends and my own relations 

Have all passed on now like the melted snow

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

So I'll spend my days in endless roving 

Soft is the grass my bed is free 

Ah, to be home now in Carrickfergus 

On that long road down to the sea 

And in Kilkenny it is reported 

On marble stone there as black as ink 

With gold and silver I would support her 

But I'll sing no more now till I get a drink 

Photos 

For I'm drunk today and I'm seldom sober 

A handsome rover from town to town 

Ah but I am sick now my days are numbered 

Come all ye young men and lay me down
