i wish i had you in carrickfergus
only for nights in ballygrand
i would swim over the deepest ocean
the deepest ocean to hold your hand

but the water is wide and i cannot get over
and neither have i the wings to fly
i wish i had me a handy boatman
to ferry me over, my love and i

the light was dark, and the sky uneasy
the might ocean was tossed and wild
when my own true love
sweet bobby bessie
he crossed the ocean
leaving me behind

left me behind to count my losses
and see my love in every glass
how sweet his (?)
and yet i’m crying
how long the dark night, it takes to pass

now in kilkenny he is reported
on marble stones there as black as ink
with swords of silver my love reported
but i’ll sing no more now ’til i have a drink
’cause i’m drunk today and i’m seldom sober
a lonesome rover from town to town
ah, but i’m sick now, my days are numbered
so come all ye young men and lay me down

i lay me down here beside the water
alone i’ll rest in my grief and woe
and if there’s no one who will go with me
throughout my country, i dare not go

my troubles done, my wandering over
i’ll go no more from town to town
i’m going home now to carrickfergus
come my own story and lay me down
so come all ye and lay me down

lay me down
