Carrickfergus

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 arak,

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.

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.
