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