I Wish I Was In England |
Oh I wish I was in England, in France or even in Spain |
Or wherever dwells my own true love, to hold her near again |
Wherever dwells my own true love to hold her near again |
Oh long time I had been roaming, in country and in town |
But never in my wanderings met, a maid with such renown |
No never in my wanderings met, a maid with such renown |
Until I met my true love on the shores of Knocknashee |
Her brown hair in the howling wind, a-blowing wild and free |
Her brown hair in the howling wind, a-blowing wild and free |
Oh my true love she did promise me some land with rambling kine |
And on her ample pasture land to build a mansion fine |
And on her ample pasture land to build a mansion fine |
But then my love she left me, and she wandered far away |
And I’ve been searching for my love for many’s the night and day |
Yes I’ve been searching for my love for many’s the night and day |
Oh I wish that I was in England, or wherever she may be |
That I could go and call my love, and together we would be |
That I could go and call my love and together we would be |
