I wish [D] I had you [G] in Cary [C] Fergus
Only [Dm] four nights [G] in [C] Ballygram
[Am] I would [Dm] swim over [G] the deepest [Am] ocean
The [Dm] deepest ocean [G] to be by [C] your side
But the sea is wide
[Dm] And I can't [G] swim over
I neither [C]
have
[Am] [Dm] Eye wings to fly
[Am] Oh, I wish [Dm] I could find me
[G] A [Am] handy boatman
To ferry [Dm] me over to [G] my [C] love and I
My [Dm] childhood days
[F] Bring [G] back [Am] sad reflections
To [Dm] happy times [G] spent so long [C] ago
My [Dm] boyhood friends
[G] And my [Am] own relations
Have all [Dm] passed on
[G] Like the melting [C] snow
But I spend my days
[Dm] In a [G] straw bag
Soft as the [C] grass
[Am] That [Dm] is [G]
green
[Am] Oh, to [Dm] be home now
[G] In [Am] Cary Fergus
On the [Dm] long road down
[G] To the [C] Sally Sea
And [Dm] in Kilkenny
[G] [Am] It is reported
On marble [Dm] stones
[G] As black [C] as ink
[Am] With gold [Dm] and silver
I [Am] did support her
But I'll sing [Dm] no more
Till I [C] get a drink
I'm drunk today
[Dm] And I'm [G] really sober
I haven't [Am] sobered over
[Dm] From [G] time to time
Oh, but [Am] I'm [Dm] sick
In my [Em] days [Am] of numbers
So [D] come all ye young men
[A]
[G] [A] And lay [G] me [C] down
