Lyrics to Carrick-A-Rede

[Verse 1]

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



[Verse 2]

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



[Chorus]

One step and two, hold tight, let go

Twenty-and-four, hold tight, let go____

I'm nearly there, let go, let go



[Verse 3]

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



[Chorus]

One step and two, hold tight, let go

Twenty-and-four, hold tight, let go____

I'm nearly there, let go, let go



[Verse 4]

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



[Chorus]

One step and two, hold tight, let go

Twenty-and-four, hold tight, let go____

I'm nearly there, let go



[Chorus]

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
