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