[00:23.17]I wish I was in Carrickfergus
[00:36.78]Only for nights in Ballygrand
[00:50.50]I would swim over the deepest ocean
[01:04.85]Only for nights in Ballygrand
[01:18.46]But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
[01:33.69]And neither have I the wings to fly
[01:48.75]I wish I had a handsome boatman
[02:02.59]To ferry me over, my love and I
[02:16.57]My childhood days bring back sad reflections
[02:31.22]Of happy times I spent so long ago
[02:44.86]My boyhood friends and my own relations
[02:59.48]Have all past on now like melting snow
[03:12.47]I'll spend my days in this ceaseless roving
[03:27.28]Soft is the grass and my bed is free
[03:41.96]Oh but to be back now, in Carrickfergus
[03:54.89]On that long winding road, down to the sea
[04:17.23]Now in Kilkenny it is reported
[04:30.96]On marble stone there as black as ink
[04:44.53]With gold and silver I would support her
[04:58.93]But I'll sing no more now 'til I get a drink
[05:12.61]For I'm drunk today and I'm seldom sober
[05:27.19]A handsome rover from town to town
[05:41.94]Ah but I'm sick now my days are numbered
[05:55.79]Come all ye young men and lay me down
[06:26.07]Good evening
[06:29.45]Well, during the period 1939 to 1945
[06:36.60]There was a very big war going on all over the world
[06:42.08]They called it World War II everywhere, except, of course, in Ireland
[06:47.97]Where we called it The Emergency
[06:52.39]Now, during this Emergency
[06:55.13]England had suffered a lot from air raids and all that stuff, so
[06:58.60]They sent for some of our fellas to go to England and
[07:02.44]Help to rebuild essential services
[07:04.80]Like houses and roads and bridges and
[07:08.10]Probably a few pubs
[07:12.14]While they were there, I suppose they helped
[07:15.15]To make England into a fit place for Irish people to live in
[07:27.20]And a lot of the lads who went over that time
[07:29.80]Found work with a man by the name of
[07:31.86]Mr. Robert McAlpine, as he was then called
[07:36.58]But in the meantime he did away with so many paddies
[07:40.11]That they saw fit to make a lord out of him
[07:43.11]And on his deathbed
[07:45.11]He didn't die in a building, he died in a bed
[07:47.65]And when he was dying in his bed, his last words were
[07:50.92]Or so they say, was
[07:53.35]If the men wish to honour my memory
[07:56.54]Let them keep two minutes' silence
[07:59.21]But keep the mixer going, and keep paddy behind it
[08:03.24]And this is about him and his little gang
