Thank you.
Thank you.
You are a beautiful public.
[G#] So I will [D#] sing you, [G] I want to sing you one folk song,
real folk song, and it's one that I didn't know 30 years ago,
but recently I heard it on an album by Van [F#m] Morrison.
It's an Irish ballad and it's very, very beautiful and very, very [G#] sad.
It's called Kerrick Fergus.
[F#] [G]
[F#]
[A]
[G#m] I wish I had you [C#] in
[G#m] Kerrick Fergus
Only for [C#] nights in [F#] Ballygran
I [C#] would [G#m] swim over
[C#] [A] the deepest [A#] [D#m] ocean
The [G#m] deepest ocean [C#] to be by your [F#] side
But the sea is wide, I can't [C#] swim over
[F#] Neither have wings, [C#]
[G#m] I wish I could find thee
[C#] A handy [D#m] boatman to carry [G#m] me over
[C#] To my love, [F#]
these [G#m] childhood places
[C#] Bring [D#m] sad reflection of happy [G#m]
days
[C#] Spent so [F#] long above
My [G#m] girlhood friends and [C#] my [B] own [D#m] relations
Have [G#m] all passed on, [C#] melting [F#] snow
But I'll spend my days in endless [C#] roving
[F#] Soft as the ground, my [C#] bed is free
[G#m] Oh, to be home [C#] now in [D#m] Kerrick Fergus
On the long [G#m] road [C#] down to the [F#] salty sea
[C#] [F#m]
[F#]
[C#] [F#m]
[G#m] [C#]
[D#m]
[G#m] [C#]
[F#]
And [G#m] in Kilkenny [C#] it [D#m] is reported
On [G#] marble stone [C#] as black as [F#] ink
With [G#m] gold and silver [C#] he [D#m] did support me
But I'll sing [G#m] no more now [C#] till I've [F#] had a drink
And I'm drunk today, and I'm [C#] really sober
As [F#] I rove from town [C#] to town
But [G#m] I'm sick now, [C#] and my days [D#m] are numbered
Come [G#m] all ye young [C#] lads and lay [D#m] me down
Come all ye [G#m] young [C#] lads and lay [F#] me down
