I wish i was in carrickfergus
Where she is waiting, my rainbow's end
I would swim over the deepest ocean
Just to see her sweet smile again
But the sea is wide and i can not get over
Nor have i the wings to fly
I wish i knew a friendly boatman
To ferry me back to my sweetheart's side
I close my eyes and i remember
The fields of green and flowers gold
Where we would walk in sunlit meadows
How my heart's longing to be back home
But the sea is wide and i can not get over.
Nor have i the wings to fly.
So i'll just dream of carrickfergus
And the day i said goodbye
Now and forever my love and i
So i'll just dream of carrickfergus
And the day i said goodbye
Now and forever my love and i
I wish i was in carrickfergus
Where she is waiting, my rainbow's end
I would swim over the deepest ocean
Just to see her sweet smile again
But the sea is wide and i can not get over
Nor have i the wings to fly
I wish i knew a friendly boatman
To ferry me back to my sweetheart's side
I close my eyes and i remember
The fields of green and flowers gold
Where we would walk in sunlit meadows
How my heart's longing to be back home
But the sea is wide and i can not get over.
Nor have i the wings to fly.
So i'll just dream of carrickfergus
And the day i said goodbye
Now and forever my love and i
So i'll just dream of carrickfergus
And the day i said goodbye
Now and forever my love and i
