Lyrics (with many thanks to danldunham)

I know the downs are white with apple blossoms,

That float and fall from off the twisted bough,

I know the downs are white with blossoms,

O how I long for Londonderry now.

The shamrock coyly raises its little head,

With dewdrops glowing on the sunlit plain,

In my dear homeland now the apple bloom is white,

Ah, would that I were there again.

There is no air as fragrant as the breeze blown.,

Across the Foyle, my heart will ever vow;

There is no thrush whose note has such a sweet tone

As warbles on a Londonderry bough.

There is no stream can equal the dancing Foyle,

Its beauty glowing on the sunlit plain,

In my dear homeland now the appleblosson is white,

Ah, would that I were there Again.
