Carrickfergus (Sean O'Se)

		Do bh bean uasal seal d lua liom, 
's chuir s suas dom fral ghar;  
Do ghabhas lastuas di sna bailte mra  
Mar go dtug s svae ['sway'] li os comhair an tsaoil.  
Ach d bhfaighinnse a ceann sid faoi irs an teampaill,  
Do bheinn gan amhras ar m'bhar fin;  
Ach anois tim tinn lag 's gan fil ar leigheas agam.  
Is go mbeidh mo mhuintir ag gol im' dhidh. 
 
   G      Am  D          G      Em
I wish I was  in Carrickfergus, 
          Am    D   C    G    Gsus4
only for nights in Ballygran 
              Am  D            G     Em
I would swim over the deepest ocean, 
          Am    D   C    G   Gsus4
only for nights in Ballygran 
 
         G      Em         C           D                   
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over 
             Em   G     C        D
And neither have I the wings to fly 
                Am  D              G     
I wish I could find me a handsome boatsman 
             Am   D      C        G
To ferry me over, to my love and die. 
 
     G     Am   D         G      Em
But in Kilkenny, it is reported, 
           Am     D        C        G   Gsus4
On marble stones there as black as ink 
               Am    D           G        Em
With gold and silver I would support her, 
                  Am   D                  G     C G
But I'll sing no more now, 'till I get a drink.  
 
         G       Em           C      D                   
For I'm drunk today, and I'm seldom sober, 
            Em G       C       D
A handsome rover from town to town 
             Am       D            G        Gsus4
Ah, but I'm sick now, my days are numbered, 
              Am    D       C      G
Come all you young men and lay me down.
