The Homes of Donegal |
| I’ve just dropped in to see you all |
| I’ll only stay awhile |
| I want to hear how you’re getting on |
| I want to hear you smile |
| I’m happy to be back again |
| And greet you big and small |
| For there’s no place on earth just like |
| The homes of Donegal |
| I long to see your smiling children |
| Standing by the door |
| The kettle boiling on the hearth |
| As I walk up the floor |
| And then to see a welcome free |
| For travellers one and all |
| For your hearts are like your mountains |
| In the homes of Donegal |
| I’d like to stay along with you |
| And while away the night |
| With fairy lore and tales of yore |
| Beside the turf fire bright |
| And then to see laid out for me |
| A shake-down by the wall |
| For there’s rest for weary wanderers |
| In the homes of Donegal |
| The time has come for me to go |
| And bid you all adieu |
| For the open highway calls me back |
| To do these things I do |
| But when I’m travelling far away |
| Your friendship I’ll recall |
| And please God I’ll soon return unto |
| The homes of Donegal |
| Donegal, Pride of all |
| Donegal, Pride of all |
