[Chorus]
Farewell to Bellaghy
Likewise Tamlaghtduff
And the green hills of Derry
That I dearly love
My thoughts return to you
From my dark H-Block cell
So friends and brave comrades
I bid you farewell
[Verse 1]
For hundreds of years now
We've kept up the fight
And the history books told me
Of Ireland's plight
So with gallant Francis
I followed the cause
To conquer the tyrants
And defy England's laws
[Verse 2]
Through the hills of south Derry
We marched and we drilled
To our exploits in action
All Irish youth thrilled
The most feared men in Ulster
Volunteers on the run
We give England our answer
From the barrels of our guns
Farewell to Bellaghy
Likewise Tamlaghtduff
And the green hills of Derry
That I dearly love
My thoughts return to you
From my dark H-Block cell
So friends and brave comrades
I bid you farewell
[Verse 1]
For hundreds of years now
We've kept up the fight
And the history books told me
Of Ireland's plight
So with gallant Francis
I followed the cause
To conquer the tyrants
And defy England's laws
[Verse 2]
Through the hills of south Derry
We marched and we drilled
To our exploits in action
All Irish youth thrilled
The most feared men in Ulster
Volunteers on the run
We give England our answer
From the barrels of our guns
