    When you get off the old Caledonia
    Board the Synthia, Ladyclare, or Creagwee,
    There's a village on the banks of that river
    I am sure you would like for to see
    There's mansions that's old grand and lovely
    Tree's and flower's deck that wonderful soil
    There's a hand shake and cead mile a failte
    On the banks of the fair winding Foyle.
