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