Carrick-A-Rede Lyrics

I'll walk the miles from Ballintoy

No shining moon to light my way

Across the fields of Larrybane

And the rope bridge where my love waits



The fishermen lie in their beds

The salmon spawn in Moyle's blue sea

And you lie there upon the grass

Waiting for me on Carrick-a-rede



One step and two, hold tight, let go

Twenty and four, hold tight, let go

I'm nearly there, let go, let go



I will find you where you lie

And steal in soft under your coat

We will tell our stories, love

And sing our songs out, every note



One step and two, hold tight, let go

Twenty and four, hold tight, let go

I'm nearly there, let go, let go



Your sweet kiss will bring the rest

Your mouth on my mouth, wave on wave

We will meet the sea's loud roar

No better way to cheat the grave



One step and two, hold tight, let go

Twenty and four, hold tight, let go

I'm nearly there, let go



One step and two, hold tight, let go

Twenty and four, hold tight, let go

I'm nearly there, let go, let go



Let go, let go
