[Chorus]
Farewell to Bellaghy, likewise Tamlaghtduff,
And the green hills of Derry that I dearly love,
My thoughts return to you, from me 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,
The most feared men in Ulster, volunteers on the run,
We gave England our answer from the barrels of our guns.

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

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

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