I wish I was in Carrickfergus |
|
Where the castle looks out to sea. |
|
I would swim over the deepest ocean |
|
For my love to be with me. |
|
But the sea is wide and I can not swim over |
|
Nor have I the wings to fly |
|
I wish I had a handsome boatman, |
|
To ferry me over, my love and I. |
|
I wish I was in the land of Eire, |
|
Where the mountains reach the sea. |
|
Where flowers blossom as I do remember. |
|
Where my true love came to me. |
|
But the sea is wide and I can not swim over. |
|
Nor have I the wings to fly. |
|
Ahh to be back now in Carrickfergus |
|
To be together .. my love and I. |
|
I wish I was in Carrickfergus, |
|
To be together my love and I. |
|
I wish I was back home again. |
