  1. Song - Ancient Sweet Donoughmore

    I
    One evening through Derry
    I merrily rambled of late
    With social companions and
    concert our sport being great
    It being the first time in my life
    I was there before
    In that charming fine place called
    Ancient Sweet Donoughmore
    II
    The green groves of Derry are
    a most picturesque sight
    The streams, they are rolling
    With foaming waters so bright
    The fields they are covered with
    daisies, and rich natured
    garmets they wore
    In that Angelic place called
    Ancient Sweet Donoughmore
