[00:00.23]
[00:16.07]A stream like crystal it flows down
[00:24.49]it's clear for to be seen
[00:31.65]And it's there you'll find the Irish Oak
[00:40.13]trimmed with the ivy green
[00:47.68]Where the Shamrock and the Thistle grow
[00:56.08]the Lily too beside
[01:03.76]And they flourish all together, boys
[01:12.12]along the Faughan side
[01:19.07]
[01:19.43]Well it's just three miles from Derry to
[01:28.08]the bridge of Drumahoe
[01:35.34]And it's there I spent some happy days
[01:43.93]I'll have you all to know
[01:51.37]Where the lambs do sport fair maids do court
[01:59.67]and the small fish gently glide
[02:07.50]There's a blooming spring on a May morning
[02:15.79]along the Faughan side
[03:08.03]
[03:08.39]Well if you could see this lovely place
[03:13.52]all in the summer time
[03:18.11]Each bush and tree they look so gay
[03:23.28]each meadows in its prime
[03:28.28]The Blackbird and the golden Thrush
[03:33.03]sing there the live long day
[03:40.55]But now I have a notion of
[03:48.83]going to Ameri-cay
[03:55.96]
[03:56.32]Oh, the leaving of this lovely place
[04:04.80]it grieves my heart full sore
[04:12.41]And the leaving of my own true love
[04:20.84]sure it grieves me ten times more
[04:28.35]But if ever I return again
[04:36.75]well it's her I'd make my bride
[04:44.54]And I'd roll her in my arms, boys
[04:52.96]along the Faughen side
