[Chorus]
Farewell to Bellaghy, likewise Tamlaghtduff,
And the green hills of Derry that I dearly loved,
My thoughts return to you, from my dark H-Block cell,
So friends and brave comrades I bid you farewell.

[Verse]
For hundreds of years now, we've kept up the fight,
And the history books told me of Ireland's plight,
With Francis and Dominic, I followed the call,
To conquer the tyrants and defy England's laws.

[Chorus]
So farewell to Bellaghy, likewise Tamlaghtduff,
And the green hills of Derry, (South of Derry!), that I dearly loved,
My thoughts return to you, from my dark H-Block cell,
So friends and brave comrades I bid you farewell.

[Verse]
Through the hills of south Derry, we marched and we drilled,
To our exploits in action all Irish youth thrilled,
Most feared men in Ulster, volunteers on the run,
We gave England her answer from the barrels of our guns.

[Chorus]
So farewell to Bellaghy, likewise Tamlaghtduff,
And the green hills of Derry, (South of Derry!), that I dearly loved,
My thoughts return to you, from my dark H-Block cell,
So friends and brave comrades I bid you farewell.

[Verse]
Oh, gallant south Derry, you're forever blessed,
In your struggle for freedom you have given your best,
There's Hughes and there's Bateson, bold Sheridan and Leigh,
And inscribed with their names now, who? Brave Tom McElwee.

[Chorus]
So farewell to Bellaghy, likewise Tamlaghtduff,
And the green hills of Derry, (South of Derry!), that I dearly loved,
My thoughts return to you, from my dark H-Block cell,
So friends and brave comrades I bid you farewell.

[Chorus]
So farewell to Bellaghy, likewise Tamlaghtduff,
And the green hills of Derry, (South of Derry!), that I dearly loved,
My thoughts return to you, from my dark H-Block cell,
So friends and brave comrades I bid you farewell,
So friends and brave comrades I bid you farewell.
