Good folks I'll tell you true, now my song commences
In the year of '72, one day of my adventures
The 'Derry Standard' [newspaper] came to us; it bore the special motto
That on July the 31rst, comes off Coleraine regatta
Chorus:
Whack fal ol di da, Whack fal ol di daddy;
Whack fal ol di da
Right toorin intan addy
The morning being fine as I prepared for starting
I was led along the line by a man whose name was Martin;
In coming to the junction I heard two engines whistle
The points were drawn together by a man called Frank McCrystall
The ladies shook their dress, and stood there with compunction
Until the guard expressed - 'Take seats at Newtown Junction,'
When I obtained my seat, my fiddle began a-playing;
The engine she did beat, and the people fell hurra-ing
Many a rosy cheek was there, and many an ugly bundle;
And many a lass received a smack as the train wnt through the tunnel
One of the bandboys sat by us, I heard his name called Lowry
The fifes and drums struck up a tune which we called Kate fa Gowrie
Comparte The Coleraine Regatta! con tus amigos.
