Bridie Gallagher - Lovely Derry on the Banks of the Foyle Lyrics Oh I know a wee spot, 'tis a place of great fame And it lies to the North, now I'll tell you it's name 'Tis my own little birthplace, and it's on Irish soil Sure they call it lovely Derry on the banks of the Foyle Now I courted a wee girl, her age was nineteen She was the fairest colleen that ever you've seen For her cheeks were like roses and her hair waved in coil And she came from lovely Derry on the banks of the Foyle By those banks I have roamed, in the dear days gone by With my dear girl I strolled, not a tear, not a sigh Her fair charms without equal, from the Nore to the Moyle Oh, sweet maid from lovely Derry on the banks of the Foyle But now cruel misfortune drove me from my home 'Twas my fate in deep sorrow to sail o'er the foam And now from dark strangers, in grief I recoil While I pine from dear old Derry on the banks of the Foyle
