"Carrickfergus" is an Irish folk song,
named after the town of Carrickfergus
in County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
It was first recorded, under the name "The Kerry Boatman",
by Dominic Behan
on an LP called The Irish Rover, released in 1965.
Wiki
There were very few real folk singers you know,
though I liked Dominic Behan
a bit and there was some good stuff
to be heard in Liverpool.
Just occasionally you hear very old records on the radio
or TV of real workers in Ireland
or somewhere singing these songs and the power of them is fantastic.
