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.
