I just dropped in to see you all I'll only stay awhile I want hear how you're getting on I want to see you smile I'm happy to be back And greet you big and small there's no place else on this earth quite like homes of Donegal
I long to see your smiling children Standing by the door kettle boiling on the hearth As I walked up the floor And then to see a waiting for me Travellers one and all your heart's alive in your mountain size In the homes of Donegal
I like to lie, lie with you While away at night fairy lore and tales of yore Beside the surf fire bright And then to see laid out for me A shake-down by the wall there's rest for weary wanderers In the homes of Donegal
