I wish i was in carrickfergus
Where she is waiting, my rainbow"s end
I would swim over the deepest ocean
Just to see her sweet smile again
But the sea is wide and i can not get over
Nor have i the wings to fly
I wish i knew a friendly boatman
To ferry me back to my sweetheart"s side
I close my eyes and i remember
The fields of green and flowers gold
Where we would walk in sunlit meadows
How my heart"s longing to be back home
But the sea is wide and i can not get over.
Nor have i the wings to fly.
So i"ll just dream of carrickfergus
And the day i said goodbye
Now and forever my love and i
