Translation
Bilingual
When I was young I lived down by the shore
A Sandy Beach at our back door
My brother and me made an island in the sea
Our childhood life
In Carrickfergus Town
By the harbour
Rising out of Belfast Lough
A majestic Norman castle stands on solid rock
High up from the keep I look around
I see every part
Of Carrickfergus Town
We built our family home in Glynpark
Beside my mother and my dad
Among the oak trees, chestnut and scots pines
Along Love lane
In Carrickfergus Town
Friends come over for an evening BBQ
Whistle and Guitar, violin and banjo too
The joy of music
Laughter all around
The very best of times
In Carrickfergus Town
ย
My brother made his home no distance from my own
My sister on Red Brae at Copeland View
I am blessed with a loving wife
Our daughter travels far and wide
But she knows her home
Is Carrickfergus Town
I am older now been thinking of times past
Trials and tribulations but truth and love still lasts
I have my family
Friends are all around
I give thanks to the good people
Of Carrickfergus Town
