Lyrics:

Carrickfergus lyricsswim over the deepest oceanThe deepest ocean for my love to find/But the sea is wide and I cannot swim overNeither have I wings
to flyIf I could find me a handsome boatsmanTo ferry me over to
my love and dieMy childhood days bring back sad reflections/Of happy times spent so long agoMy childhood friends and my own
relationsHave all passed on now like melting snowBut I'll
spend my days in endless roamingSoft is the grass, my bed is free/Ah, to be back now in CarrickfergusOn that long road down to the
seaI'll spend my days in endless roamingSoft is the grass,
my bed is freeBut I am sick now, and my days are numberedCome all
you young men and lay me down
