An old folk Irish song from Loreena McKennitt Elemental album 。
Cedric Smith的沧桑在Loreena的哀伤凄美和竖琴的清丽的陪存下更显凄凉和无奈。

/>I wish I was in Carrighfergus,
Only for nights in Ballygran
I would swim over the deepest ocean,
Only for nights in Ballygrant.
But the sea is wide, and I can't get over.
And neither have I wings to fly,
Oh! If I could find me a handsome boatsman
To ferry me over to my love and die.
Now in Kilkenny, it is reported,
They've marble stones there as black as ink
With gold and silver I would transport her
But I'll sing no more now, till I get a drink.
I'm drunk today, but Then I'm seldom sober.
A handsome rover from town to town.
Oh, but I am sick now, my days are over,
Come all you young lads and lay me down.
I wish I was in Carrighfergus,
Only for nights in Ballygran.
