Met her in town in a rock ‘n’ roll bar
Playing “Lay down Sally” on a blues guitar
Playing slide like I’d never seen
Hey, she was a rock ‘n’ roll queen

She was young and wild and free
From that look in her eyes she was covering me
So I took a change of dancing a twirl
I said where you from, she said Derry girl
Aah, Derry girl

Derry girl, oh Derry girl
I fell in love with a Derry girl
Derry girl, oh Derry girl
I fell in love with a Derry girl
I’m in love with a Derry girl

After the show we took a stroll outside
Exchanging words in the plain moonlight
She seemed a little crazy to me
But that’s just part of the rock ‘n’ roll scene

So young and wild and restless
Still living in a teenage dream
She walked right into my world
Oh, that little Derry girl
Oh, Derry girl

Derry girl, oh Derry girl
I fell in love with a Derry girl
Derry girl, oh Derry girl
I fell in love with a Derry girl
I’m in love with a Derry girl

She was wild and young and free
From that look in her eyes she was covering me
She walked right into my world
Oh, that little Derry girl

Oh, Derry girl

Derry girl, oh Derry girl
I fell in love with a Derry girl
Derry girl, oh Derry girl
I fell in love with a Derry girl
I’m in love with a Derry girl

I fell in love with a Derry girl
I’m in love with a Derry girl
I fell in love with a Derry girl
