Lisa Kelly Carrickfergus Lyrics

Carrickfergus Lyrics

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 I’ll 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 I’ll 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.
