Carrick-a-rede Lyrics

The song Carrick-a-rede is performed by Cathie Ryan in the album named Somewhere Along the Road in the year 2001 .



I'll walk the miles from Ballintoy

No shining moon to light my way

Across the fields of Larrybane

And the rope bridge where my love waits

The fishermen lie in their beds

The salmon spawn in Moyle's blue sea

And you lie there upon the gra*s

Waiting for me on Carrick-a-rede

One step and two, hold tight, let go

Twenty and four, hold tight, let go

I'm nearly there, let go, let go

I will find you where you lie

And steal in soft under your coat

We will tell our stories, love

And sing our songs out, every note

One step and two, hold tight, let go

Twenty and four, hold tight, let go

I'm nearly there, let go, let go

Your sweet kiss will bring the rest

Your mouth on my mouth, wave on wave

We will meet the sea's loud roar

No better way to cheat the grave

One step and two, hold tight, let go

Twenty and four, hold tight, let go

I'm nearly there, let go

One step and two, hold tight, let go

Twenty and four, hold tight, let go

I'm nearly there, let go, let go

Let go, let go
