                               Em,    A                       D  
	I wish I was.....in Carrick-fergus
                               Em         A                   D
	only for nights..... in Bally Grand
                                           Em     A                            D
	I would swim over..... the deepest ocean
                               Em        A                    D
	only for nights..... in Bally Grand

       (D)
	But the sea is wide 
                                                      A
	and I can not swim over
                                     D
	nor have I wings
                                       C     (strum A)
	that I could fly 
   
                               Em                   A                            D
	I wish I could meet..... a handsome boatman
                                      Em      A                                   D
	to carry me over..... to my love and 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
