Carrickfergus
I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Where the castle looks out to sea
I would swim over the deepest ocean
Where my true love waits for 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 where I will die
I close my eyes and I see my homeland
Where the mountain meets the sea
Where flowers blossom as I do remember
My heart now aching in sweet memory
But the sea is wide and I can not swim over
Nor have I the wings to fly
Ah to be back now in Carrickfergus
On that long road down to the sea
Where I'll spend my days in endless roaming
Where the grass is soft and my mind is free
Where the castle looks out to sea
I would swim over the deepest ocean
Where my true love waits for 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 where I will die
I close my eyes and I see my homeland
Where the mountain meets the sea
Where flowers blossom as I do remember
My heart now aching in sweet memory
But the sea is wide and I can not swim over
Nor have I the wings to fly
Ah to be back now in Carrickfergus
On that long road down to the sea
Where I'll spend my days in endless roaming
Where the grass is soft and my mind is free
