Lyrics

I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Only for nights in Ballygrand
I would swim over the deepest ocean
The deepest ocean for my love to find
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
Nor do I have wings to fly
If I could find me a handsome boatman
To ferry me over to my love and die
My childhood days bring back sad reflections
Of happy times spent long ago
My childhood friends and my own relations
Have all passed on now, like melting snow
But I'll spend my days in endless roaming
Soft is the grass and my bed is free
But to be back now in Carrickfergus
On that long road down to the sea
But I'll spend my days in endless roaming
Soft is the grass and my bed is free
But to be back now in Carrickfergus
On that long road down to the sea
On that long road down to the sea
