[Em]I wish I
[A]was.....in
Carrick-[D]fergus
only for [Em]nights..... in [A]Bally [D]Grand
I would swim [Em]over..... the [A]deepest [D]ocean
only for [Em]nights..... in [A]Bally [D]Grand
(D)But the sea is wide
and I
can not swim [A]over
nor
have [D]I wings
that I
could [C]fly (strum A)
I wish
I [Em]could meet..... a
[A]handsome [D]boatman
to
carry me [Em]over..... to
my [A]love and [D]I
But in Kilkenny it is
reported
they've marble stones
there as black as ink
with gold and silver I
did support her
but I'll sing no more
till I get a drink
I'm drunk today
and I'm seldom sober
a handsome rover
from town to town
Ah but I'm sick now my
days are numbered
come all you young men
I'll lay me down
