Cara Dillon - The Maid Of Culmore lyrics

Leaving sweet lovely Derry for fair London town There is no finer harbour all around can be found Where the younsters each evening go down to the shore And the joy bells are ringing for the maid of Culmore The first time I saw her she pa**ed me by And the next time I saw her she bid me goodbye But the last time I saw her it grieved my heart sore For she sailed down Loch Foyle and away from Culmore If I had the power the storms for to rise I would make the wind blow and I'd darken the skies I would make the wind blow high and the salt seas to roar Til the day that my darling sailed away from Culmore To the back parts of America my love I'll go and see For it's there I know no-one and no-one knows me And if I don't find her I'll return home no more Like a pilgrim I'll wander for the maid of Culmore
