- I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING. THIS BELONGS TO THE SINGER AND HBO. GIVE CREDIT TO LOUDON WAINWRIGHT III, HE IS THE SHIT.
Lyrics:
I wish I was in Carrickfergus, only for nights in Ballygrand
I would swim over the deepest ocean, the deepest ocean for my love to find
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over and neither have I wings to fly
If I could find me a handsome boatman to ferry me over to my love and die
My childhood days bring back sad reflections of happy times I spent so long ago
My boyhood friends and my own relations have all passed on now like melting snow
But I'll spend my days in endless roaming, soft is the grass, my bed is free
Ah to be back in Carrickfergus on that long road down to the sea
And in Kilkenny it is reported there are marble stones as black as ink
With gold and silver I would support her, but I'll sing no more now till I get 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 so come all ye young men and lay me down
I still miss this show. What a song. It gives me chills.
Me too
"But the sea is wide. And I cannot swim over"
Incredibly moving. Like others heard it first on this series despite being a Loudon fan for years
Such a good show. Completely engrossing to the point where you wanna go back to the 1920's and never leave again.
Una delle ballate più belle per la serie più bella.
Nucky's father: What is this? (Really loud and innapropriate)
Nucky :Carrickfergus, dad, Carrickfergus (Trying to be quiet)
Nucky's father: Ah like I give a shit.
just heard this again on a repeat of Boardwalk empire episode 5 today. Had to search to see who sang it. Beautiful song. Thanks for posting.
***** -- Just watched the show and heard this version of the song for the first time. Was thinking it sounded like Don McLean, so I did a search to find out the singer. Very nice.
valricogarcia I love this song. My Aunt Pat Flannigan used to sing this when she was using her sewing machine. She had that strong Irish accent too. She came from Ireland in the 40's. And I love Van Morrison ,But he has nothing on Louden Wainright and this version of Nights n Ballygran.
look up the dubliners version.. the best.
me too!
The BEST show I have seen in my short life of 42 years...flawless. 👏👏🥇
You didn't watch Breaking Bad.
@@samsebibog No, I prefer seeing your mom's CUNT for free... 😂 🤦🏻♂️
@@samsebibog WTF you know about my Life SMARTASS motherfucker, you pass the time with me at my home??? Fuck off and shut your f face...
What a perfect actor
I saw the whole series, loved it. Love this song! Always had a fascination with Irish songs.
breathtaking...what a wonderful tune...cannot get out of my head...makes me wish to visit eire...
Carrickfergus is in Nortern Ireland.😉
My favorite version, by far! So nice feel to it he has!
My grandmother was Irish (I'm in Argentina) and she used to sing this song while doing the garden, can't believe I got here.
Oh to be in BallyGrand!
I thought Van Morrison's version was beautiful, but Loudon Wainwright's--OMG!
Incredible show.
Steve Buscemi.. He has been in bad movies, but never made a bad roll
And Boardwalk Empire was a great series and role for him
Remus agrees.
@@mjbachman3027 😆

Such a beautiful song that has so much feeling . . .
i wish this show to have 12 seasons
Paul Sturza 2000 seasons)

Feel the Irish
Just the best, well done gilbert
Bellísima canción!!!
The whole song is readily available. This one’s cut off.
Joan Baez version from Bratislava is magic.
j'adooore !!
The Wainwright family should just buy music. The entire concept of music.
Why the sudden cut-off?
The yanks cant do it the same as us
I have no time for games, Margaret, no interest in them.
----- Margaret.??
'Snog snog, Kiss kiss.
what are you talking about? this show is still on :)
EMOTIONAL ;L
curious way to end a song
This video cuts off before the end of the song...and when it does it's like a knife through the heart. I love this version of Carrickfergus but for f*ck's sake, sort out your upload!
Cant find this version in Spotify 🧐🤨😫
What's Spotify ?
loudon wainwrigh III ????????????? My ass !!!!
+anton poulissen Yes, that is who it is.
Whoever cut this short, you are a bad person.
Haunting
