|
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 cannot swim over |
|
Nor have I the wings for 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 Erin |
|
Where the mountains meet the sea |
|
Where flowers blossom as I do remember |
|
Where my true love came to me |
|
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over |
|
Nor have I the wings for to fly |
|
Ah to be back now in Carrickfergus |
|
To be together my love and I |
|
To be together my love and I |
|
I wish I was in Carrickfergus |
|
I wish I was in Carrickfergus |
|
I wish I was back home again |
