Christy Moore - I Wish I Was In England lyrics

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
