I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Where the castle looks out to sea
I would swim over the deepest oceans
So my love could 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 erat
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

I'm turning 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
