Woplfgang - out of curiosity I looked up the former thrtead on this song, It's basically the same as the one I have (I'd omitted the first verse in my initial reply). But there are some suggested words in brackets which are wrong, like heather for harbour, Well, I guess that's okay though the Foyle banks aren't heathery. and the guess at the name of Foyle didn't come out right. it's definitely the Foyle, the estuary which goes into Derry (Lough Foyle and the River Foyle). and Culmore should be spelled with a 'u'. the pronounciation in the song and in the original Irish are both like 'Cool', though nowadays most locals pronounce the area's name with a short 'u', as in the word 'cull'

The other song in the previous thread, about Lord Aldingar is really interesting, so it was well worth a look
