	I was twenty years old when I first started singing this song. It has grown with me over the years. Listen for Erynn Marshall on violin. I still believe she's the finest fiddler in the world!! Click on the song title above for the words to this song.

	Story Behind the Song I only sing two of the verses on this album. I'm told that there are many, many more. Lyrics I wish I was in Carrickfergus only for a night in BalyGrand I would swim over the deepest ocean only for a night in BalyGrand But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over and neither have I but wings to fly I wish I could meet a handsome boatman To ferry me over my love and I. And in Killkenny It is reported They have marble stones there As black as ink With gold and silver I did support her But I'll sing no more now 'Til I've had a drink 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 I'll lay me down
