carrickfergus

Katherine Jenkins

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 cannot swim over
No have I the wings to fly
I wish I had a handsome boatman
To ferry me over, my love and I
(I wish I had a handsome boatman)
(To ferry me over, my love and I)

I wish I was in the land of Eire
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
No have I the wings to fly
Or to be home now in Carrickfergus
To be together my love and I
My love and I
