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...
