An old folk Irish song from Loreena McKennitt Elemental album 。 Cedric Smith的滄桑在Loreena的哀傷淒美和豎琴的清麗的陪存下更顯淒涼和無奈。
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.
