half a verse of The Long March of Derry is left out of the lyrics Wolfgang posted on 12 Nov 1997

Now Toomebridge town was good we found, the people stood and cheered
And everyone supported us wherever we appeared
We crossed the bridge where McCorley died with our banners flying high
Off on the long road to Derry
[is followed by]
'Twas in Dungiven Farrell stood and told the watching crowd
We're marching for our civil rights, we're marching and we're proud
And every man and woman here, regardless of their creed,
Should join in the long march to Derry


The chorus is sung after every two quatrains
