lyrics

By the Diamond in Derry up to sweet Moville town
There is no finer harbour on this earth to be found,
Where the youngsters each evening go by the sea shore
And the joys bells ring out for the maid from Culmore.

The first time I saw my love, she passed me right by,
And the next time I saw my love, she did me deny,
And the last time I saw my love, she did grieve my heart sore
When she left dear ould Derry, sailed away from Culmore.

If I had the power, the storms for to rise,
The winds to blow high and to darken the skies,
The winds to blow high and the salt seas to roar,
On the day that my true love sailed away from Culmore.

To north of Americay my love I’ll go seek
For there I know no-one and, sure, no-one knows me.
And if I cannot find my love, I’ll return home no more
Like a pilgrim I'll wander far away from Culmore.
