   We have only to look Heaven-ward,
   Hear a thrush, or blackbird tune,
   Just to know that God still loves us,
   C'ant we see the harvest moon.

II When you sail up the Foyle towards Derry Passed those hills and castles so grand The beautiful hills of Benevanue And the golden Magilligan sands The green woods of old Ballykelly Sights made grand by God's hand not by toil On the deck of the proud Caledonia You'll see both sides of the fair winding Foyle.
