An amazing, feeling, coming through
I wish I was in Carrickfergus
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 wanna Carrickfergus, I can't stop thinking about you
I wanna Carrickfergus, Carrickfergus, Carrickfergus
Born to Carrickfergus, born to Carrickfergus, love, love, love
Born to Carrickfergus, born to Carrickfergus
To be together, my love and I

Ah, to be back now in Carrickfergus
To be together, my love and I
To be together, my love and I
I wish I was in Carrickfergus
To be together, my love and I
