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.
