Blue Ridge Mountains Turnin' Green

Hometown On The Foyle - Brian Coll

As the train pulls out today from derry city

A thousand memories linger in my mind

Why do i need to go it's such a pity

And all the dear old friends i leave behind

As i gaze beyond the harbor i'm recalling

Familiar names like doherty and coyle

Through misty eyes

I feel the teardrops falling

Goodbye to my old hometown on the foyle

The spire of saint eugene's seems to vanish

In the distance over the city over so high

My childhood thought

I never wanted to vanish

When i wondered if they reached to the sky

Many thousand miles

I've travelled on my journey

To a new home on the wild austrailian soil

But never can i hope to lose the yearning

To return to my old hometown on the foyle

Never can i hope to lose the yearning

To return to my old hometown on the foyle
