Carrickfergus Lyrics

The song Carrickfergus is performed by Celtic Woman in the album named A New Journey in the year 2007 .



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 pa*sed on now like melting snow

But I'll spend my days in endless roaming
Soft is the gra*s, my bed is free
Ah, to be back now in Carrickfergus
On that long road down to the sea

I'll spend my days in endless roaming
Soft is the gra*s, my bed is free
But I am sick now, and my days are numbered
Come all you young men and lay me down
