Donna Taggart - Carrickfergus lyrics
Your rating:
I wish I was in Carrickfergus Only for nights in Ballygrand I would swim over the deepest ocean For my love to find But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over And nor do I have wings to fly If I could find me a handsome boatman To ferry me over to my love and die My childhood days bring back sad reflections Of happy times spent long ago My childhood friends and my own relations Have all passed on now like melting snow So I'll spend my days in endless roving Soft is the grass and my bed is free To be back now in Carrickfergus On that long road down by the sea So I'll spend my days in endless roving Soft is the grass and my bed is free But I am sick now and my days are numbered Come all ye young men and lay me down Come all ye young men and lay me down
