[Verse 1]
Am Dm G Am
I wished I had you in Carrick fergus
Dm G7 C
Only for nights in the Bally grand
Am Dm G Am
I would swim over the deepest ocean
Dm Am C
The deepest ocean to be by your side
[Chorus]
G C Dm G
But the sea is wide, and I can't swim over
C Dm G
And neither have I wings to fly
Am Dm G Am
I wish I could find me a handy boatman
Dm G C
To ferry me over to my love and die
[Verse 2]
Am Dm G Am
My childhood days bring back sad reflections
Dm G C
Of happy days, so long ago
Am Dm G Am
My boyhood friends and my own relations
Dm Am C
Have all passed on, like melting snow
[Chorus]
G C Dm G
So, I'll spend my days in endless roving
C Dm G
Soft is the grass and my bed is free
Am Dm G Am
Oh, to be home now in Carrick fergus
Dm G C
On the long road down to the salty sea
[Verse 3]
Am Dm G Am
And in Kilkenny it is reported
Dm G C
On marble stone there as black as ink
Am Dm G Am
With gold and silver I did support her
Dm G C
But I'll sing no more now, till I get a drink
[Chorus-Outro]
G C Dm G
I'm drunk today, and I'm rarely sober
C Dm G
A handsome rover from town to town
Am Dm G Am
Oh, but I am sick now and my day's are numbered
Dm G C
Come all ye men, and lay me down
