[ti:Maid Of Culmore]
[ar:Celtic Thunder]
[00:08.129] Leaving sweet lovely Derry
[00:12.529] for fair London town,
[00:17.30] There is no finer harbour
[00:21.830] all around can be found,
[00:26.231] Where the youngsters each evening
[00:30.685] go down to the shore,
[00:34.790] And the joy bells are ringing
[00:39.490] for the maid of Culmore.
[00:54.191] The first time I saw her
[00:58.741] she passed me by,
[01:02.541] And the next time that I saw her
[01:07.92] she bid me goodbye,
[01:11.142] But the last time I saw her
[01:15.448] it grieved my heart sore,
[01:19.298] For she sailed down Loch Foyle
[01:23.851] and away from Culmore.
[01:28.201] If I had the power
[01:32.151] the storms for to rise,
[01:35.901] I would make the wind blow out
[01:40.502] and I'd darken the skies,
[01:44.402] I'd make the wind blow high
[01:48.902] and the salt seas to roar,
[01:52.802] Till the day that my darling
[01:57.252] sailed away from Culmore.
[02:07.403] To the back parts of America
[02:11.853] my love I'll go seek,
[02:15.553] For it's there I know no one
[02:20.673] and no one knows me,
[02:23.623] But if I don't find her
[02:28.24] I'll return home no more,
[02:31.873] Like a pilgrim I'll wander
[02:36.924] for the maid of Culmore
