The Homes of Donegal

I just dropped in to see you all, I'll only stay a while

I want to see how you're getting on, I want to see you smile

I'm happy to be back again, I greet you big and small

For there's no place else on earth just like the homes of Donegal

I always see the happy faces smiling at the door

And the kettle's swinging on the crook as I step on the floor

And soon the teapot's filling up, my cup is far from small

For your hearts are like your mountains in the homes of Donegal

The time has come and I must go, I bid you all adieu

For the open highway calls me forth to do the things I do

But when I'm tramping far away, I'll hear your voices call

And please God I'll soon return unto your home in Donegal
