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 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 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.

I wish I was in Carrickfergus,

To be together my love and I.

I wish I was back home again.
