  1. (continued from previous page)
    There's a dear girl living in this place,
    Her name it is well known.
    He beauty fair surpasses
    she's the pride of Inishowen.
    This fair girls name is Brigid,
    And for her I mean to toil.
    And we'll gather shells on that dear spot,
    Moville along the Foyle
    Oh Moville, along the Foyle,
    Sweet Moville along the Foyle,
    And where on earth could equal it,
    Moville along the Foyle.
