I wish I was in Carrickfergus where she is waiting, my rainbow's I would swim over the deepest ocean just to see her smile again
but the sea is wide I cannot get over nor have I the wings to fly I wish I knew a friendly boatman to me back to my sweetheart's side
I my eyes and I remember the fields of green and flowers gold where 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 wings to fly so I’ll just of Carrickfergus and the day I said goodbye now and forever my and I
so I’ll just dream of Carrickfergus and the day said goodbye now and forever my love and I.
