Carrickfergus Lyrics

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´s wide,
and I can not swim over,
nor have I the wings for to fly.

I wish I had a handsome gordman,
to ferry me over, my love and I.

I wish I was in the land of Eire,
where the mountains meet the sea.
Where flowers blossom,
as I do remember,
where my true love came to me.
But the sea´s wide,
and I cannot swim over,
nor have I the wings for to fly.
But 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.
