Lovely Old Fintown - Kevin Prendergast

Written by：Kathleen Hayes

My countrymen I take my pen to write a verse or two

And as I leave to cross the seas I bid my last adieu

Our splendid boat is now afloat on the Foyle sailing down

And as I leave my heard did grieve for Lovely Old Fintown

Many nights I've spent in sweet content with lads and lassies gay

Where songs were sung by old and young before I went away

Amerikay seems far away in Philadelphia town

But I can't forget the friends I lie in Lovely Old Fintown

Could I but see old Glen Swilly or Mennadenny Plain

Kingara's green where oft I've been to join the refrain

O'er mountainsides I'd roam with pride near Glenties of renown

And I've been there at many a fair in Lovely Old Fintown

So fair thee well ye hills and dales and to my comrades all

And twice farewell to my own dear girl I left in Donegal

St. Patrick's day though far away my shamrock I will drown

And I'll think of thee my gra mo chroi in Lovely Old Fintown

And I'll think of thee my gra mo chroi in Lovely Old Fintown
