The Homes of Donegal

I've just stepped 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

To greet you one and all

For there's no place else on earth just like

The homes of Donegal

I long to see your happy faces

Smiling at the door

The kettle's singing on the hob

As I step up the floor

And soon the teapot's filling up

My cup that's far from small

For your hearts are like your mountains in

The homes of Donegal

I long to sit alone with you

And while away the night

With tales of yore and faerie lore

Beside your fireside bright

And then to see prepared for me

A bed beside the wall

There's a rest for weary wanderers in

The homes of Donegal

The time has come and I must go

I bid you all adieu

The open highway calls me forth

To do the things I do

And when I'm wandering far away

I'll hear your voices call

And please God I'll soon return unto

The homes of Donegal

And please God I'll soon return unto

The homes of Donegal
