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