Carrickfergus chords
Irish Folk ("There Was a Noblewoman") as performed by Paddy Reilly
Capo II
I wish I was in Carrickfergus,
only for nights in Ballygran
I would swim over the deepest ocean,
only for nights in Ballygran
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
And neither have I the wings to fly
I wish I could find me a handsome boatsman
To ferry me over, to my love and die.
But in Kilkenny, it is reported,
On marble stones there as black as ink
With gold and silver I would support her,
But I'll sing no more now, 'till I get a drink.
For 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 and lay me down.
