Carrick Fergus

Carrick Fergus - The Peasall Sisters

I wish I was in Carrick Fergus

Where the castle looks out to sea

I would swim over the deepest ocean

For my love to be with me

But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over

Nor have I the wings to fly

I wish I had a handsome boatman

To ferry me over my love and I

I wish I was in the land of Eerok

Where the mountains reach the sea

Where flowers blossom as I do remember

Where my true love came to me

But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over

Nor have I the wings to fly

Ah to be back now in Carrick Fergus

To be together my love and I
