O'Donegal

Fresh mist on the morning and tears in my eyes I'm back for the dawning of Donegal skies My life in the city seems light years away When I see the Blue Mountains from Ballybofey Where the wanderers welcome is kindest of all I've come back to my darling, my sweet Donegal We'll meet at the cross on the Rathmullen Road Where the sight of Lough Swilly is a beauty bestowed As we're counting our blessings away from the throng We will hear the wild birds sing their Donegal song Where the stranger is welcome to a true free-for-all They named you, my darling, my brave Donegal I raise up my glass at the end of the day God bless every sunset o'er Donegal Bay Sure nothing is sweeter wherever I roam As the smell of the turf of my Donegal home Where there's always a welcome and a how-d'you-my-call Forever my darling, my sweet Donegal Forever my darling, my sweet Donegal
