I wish I was Carrickfergus where she is waiting, my rainbow's end I would over the deepest ocean just to see her sweet smile again
but the sea is wide and I cannot get over nor have I wings to fly I wish I a friendly boatman to ferry me back to my sweetheart's side
I close my eyes and I the fields of green flowers gold where we would walk in sunlit meadows how my heart's longing be back home
but the sea is wide and I cannot get over nor have I the to fly so I’ll just dream of Carrickfergus the day I said goodbye now and forever my love and I
so I’ll just dream Carrickfergus and the day I said goodbye now and forever my love and I.
