Jenkins, Katherine - Carrickfergus Lyrics






I wished 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 can't 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 Eire
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 can't swim over
Nor have I the wings to fly
Oh, to be home now in Carrickfergus
To be together, my love and I, my love and I

    This should be done live, so we can see the size of the orchestra and additional singers. Katherine in a lovely dress.

    My hometown, Carrickfergus! :)

    Ireland:  land of "Danny Boy",  Carrickfergus and so many others.  Sign when entering the country:   "C'ead Mile Failte"  - "100,000 Welcomes".  How great is that?

  11. A.... H....

    Nice song, WRONG WORDS. Carrickfergus is NOT in the land of Eire. I should know - I live here in Carrickfergus. SORT IT OUT.

    Saying that we are in Eire is very very very offensive.

    A.... H....

    relax Andrew,Time will sort everything out down the track...cheers. :)

    A.... H....

    chill :)))

    Éire is the Irish language word for the island of Ireland. If you're offended by that you're very easily offended.

    This is rather nice. I wish the composers would get credited. Without them, we don't have a bean.

    t.... ....

    What a pompous, condescending, R sole comment : " not really nice , just quite nice " . Composers are ten a penny : who cares ?... Jeez.

    The best song on her new album IMHO
