[Chorus]
Farewell to Bellaghy, likewise Tamlaghtduff,
And the green hills of Derry that I dearly loved,
My thought 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 exploits in action all Irish youth thrilled,
Most feared men in Ulster, volunteers on the run,
We gave England their answers from the barrels of our guns.

[Chorus]
Farewell to Bellaghy, likewise Tamlaghtduff,
And the green hills of Derry that I dearly loved,
My thought 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 our struggle for freedom you've given your best,
There's Hughes and there's Bateson, Sheridan and there's Leigh,
Inscribed with their names now, brave Tom McElwee.

[Chorus]
Farewell to Bellaghy, likewise Tamlaghtduff,
And the green hills of Derry that I dearly loved,
My thought 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.
