| Beyond Rathkelly |

| |
| |
| AS I went over the Far Hill, | |
| Just beyond Rathkelly, | |
| —Och, to be on the Far Hill | |
| O’er Newtonstewart Town! | |
| As I went over the Far Hill | 5 |
| With Marget’s daughter Nellie, | |
| The night was up and the moon was out, | |
| And a star was falling down. | |
| |
| As I went over the Far Hill, | |
| Just beyond Rathkelly, | 10 |
| —Och, to be on the Far Hill | |
| Above the Bridge o’ Moyle! | |
| As I went over the Far Hill, | |
| With Marget’s daughter Nellie, | |
| I made a wish before the star | 15 |
| Had fallen in the Foyle. | |
| |
| As I went over the Far Hill, | |
| Just beyond Rathkelly, | |
| —Och, to be on the Far Hill | |
| With the hopes that I had then! | 20 |
| As I went over the Far Hill, | |
| I wished for little Nellie, | |
| And if a star were falling now | |
| I’d wish for her again. | |
