Carrickfergus Lyrics - Singles - Lisa Kelly

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 

Nor do I, have wings to fly 

If I could find me a handsome boatman 

To ferry me over to my love and die. 

My childhood days bring back sad reflections 

Of happy times spent long ago. 

My childhood friends and my own relations. 

Have all passed on now, like melting snow. 

But Ill spend my days in endless roaming 

Soft is the grass and my bed is free. 

But to be back now in Carrickfergus, 

On that long road down to the sea. 

But Ill spend my days in endless roaming 

Soft is the grass and my bed is free. 

But to be back now in Carrickfergus, 

On that long road down to the sea. 

On that long road down to the sea.
