 I wish I Amwas,D in CarrickfeGrgus Em

 Only for Amnights,D in BallygGrant

 I would swim AmoverD the deepestG oceanEm

 The deepest oAmcean Dto be by your sidGe

 But the sea is wiGde and I can’t swim oveDr

 And nor have EmI the wings to flAmy

 If I coulAmd fiDnd me a handy bGoatmaEmn

 To ferry me oveAmr toD my love and diGe

 My childhood dAmays Dbring back sad GreflectioEmns

 Of happy AmtimeD spend so long Gago.

 My boyhood frieAmnds Dand my own relaGtionsEm

 Have all passed on liAmke tDhe melting snowG

 I’ll spend my Gdays in endless Droving

 Soft is the grEmass and my bed is fAmree

 Oh to be AmhomeD now in CarrickGferguEms

 On the long road dAmown Dto the salty sea G

 And in KilkenAmny iDt is reportGed Em

 On marbleAm stoDne as black as Gink

 With gold aAmnd silveDr I did suppGort hEmer

 But I’ll sing no more Amnow Dtill I get a driGnk

 For I’m drunk tGoday and I’m rarely sobeDr

 A handsome roEmver from town to toAmwn

 Oh but I am sick nAmow aDnd my days are GnumbeEmred

 so come on ye younAmg meDn and lay me dowGn
