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 cannot 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 cannot swim over

Nor have I

The wings to fly

Ah, to be back now

In Carrickfergus

To be together

My love and I

To be together

My love... and I!

...Ooooooooh...

I wish I was

In Carrickfergus

To be together

My love and I!

I wish I was back home again.....
