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
