- There's a pretty spot wherein I strayed
When I was quite a boy,
To watch the big ships sailing
Sure it filled my heart with joy
I have been in many places,
in towns both great and small,
But there are none can equal that dear spot,
Moville along the Foyle.Chorus
Oh, Moville, along the Foyle,
Sweet Moville along the Foyle.
And where on earth could equal it
Moville along the Foyle.To watch the big ships sailing,
As they sail out each day,
With hundreds of fine Irishmen
Bound for America.
God knows when it will fall our lot
To part our native soil,
And leave behind the friends we loved
In Moville along the Foyle.Chorus(continues on next page)- Collector
