Carrickfergus Lyrics - A New Journey - Celtic Woman

I wish I was in Carrickfergus 

Only for nights in Ballygrand 

I would swim over the deepest ocean 

The deepest ocean for my love to find 

But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over 

Neither have I wings to fly 

If I could find me a handsome boatsman 

To ferry me over to my love and die 

My childhood days bring back sad reflections 

Of happy times spent so long ago 

My childhood friends and my own relations 

Have all passed on now like melting snow 

But I'll spend my days in endless roaming 

Soft is the grass, my bed is free 

Ah, to be back now in Carrickfergus 

On that long road down to the sea

But I am sick now, and my days are numbered 

Come all you young men and lay me down
