I wish I was in Carrick Furges
Only for nights in Bally Gran
I would swim over the deepest ocean
Only for nights in Bally Gran
Ah but the sea is wide
and I cannot swim over
nor have I wings so I could fly
I wish I could'a been
a handsome boatman
to ferry me over to me lovin' land
Ah but in Kilkenney it is reported
they have 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 drunken rover
from town to town
Ah but I'm sick now
my days are numbered
so come all ye young men
an' I'll lay me down
