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.
