Testo Carrickfergus - Tara
Testo della canzone Carrickfergus (Tara), tratta dall'album Traditional Folk Ballads From Ireland
I wish I was back in Carrickfergus
Only for a night in Ballygrand
The deepest ocean I would swim over
The deepest ocean my love to find
But the seas are so wide, I cannot swim over
And neither have I the wings to fly
If I could meet with a handsome boatman
To ferry me over to my love and die
They say of life and it has been written
One chance is granted and one alone
But the sands of time they have fast rolled over me
And it's too late now to carry on
I've spent my days in endless rovin'
Soft is the grass, I am sure my bed is free
Oh, to be back in Carrickfergus
To strike that lonesome road down to the sea
And in Kilkenny it is recorded
On marble stones there as black as ink
With gold and silver I would support her
Ah, but I'll sing no more 'til I get a drink
I'm drunk today, 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
