    If you want to see scenes that are lovely
    If you want to see scenes that's worth while
    Take a trip on the old Caledonia
    Stop first at the Emerald Isle
    One sight of its cliffs wild and lovely
    Before ever you tread on its soil:
    You'll see charms that no where are equalled
    When you sail up the fair winding Foyle.
    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.
