I just dropped in to see you all only stay awhile I want to hear how getting on I want to see 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 to see your smiling children Standing by the door The kettle boiling on the hearth I walked up the floor And then to see a waiting for me Travellers one and For your heart's alive in your mountain size In the homes Donegal
I like to lie, lie along with you While away at night With fairy lore and tales of Beside the surf fire bright And then see laid out for me A shake-down by the wall For there's rest for weary wanderers In the homes Donegal
