The City Of Derry.
Oh, the Waterside is beautiful
And the Foyleside as well
Urban twins of Derry City
Separated by the Foyle.
A city of various culture
Within Ireland’s north-west
And in relation to history
Comparing with the best.
The adopted home of Colmcille
A mystic from county Donegal
Who allegedly once met Jesus
Not far from the city wall.
Oh, yes, a city of history and of
Culture plus citizens of renown–
A place worthy of a visit to this
Former Celtic town.
