| The Hills of Donegal Oh, night and day Im dreaming Of the hills of Donegal The heather on the hillside And the sunshine over all And tis westward I'd be going Across the ocean blue To wake again the happy hours That long ago I knew To me you ever call In every wind that wanders O'er the wide and lonely sea And, please god, if he so wills Soon I'll see my Irish hills The Hills of Donegal, So dear to me I mind the laughing valleys That look up at dawn of day To watching the dawnlight creeping O'er the rugged crests of grey And I mind the linnets trilling When the dark clouds lift and go And the grey hills send the sunshine To the waiting hearts below |
| Mary From Dungloe Oh, then fare thee well, sweet Donegal, the rosses and Gweedore. Im crossing the main ocean, where the foaming billows roar, It breaks my heart from you to part where i spent many happy days Farewell to kind relations, for I am bound for Amerikay Ah, then Mary, you're my hearts delight, my pride and only care, it was you're cruel father would not let me stay there But absence makes the heart grow fond aand when I'm o'er the main And I wished I was in sweet Dungloe and seated on the grass And by my side a bottle of wine and on my knee a lass I'd call for liquor of the best and I'd pay before I'd go and I'd roll my mary in my arms in the town of sweet Dungloe |

| The Homes Of Donegal I've just dropped in to see you all I'll only stay a while I want to hear how your getting on I want to hear your smile Im happy to be back again And greet you big and small For there's no place on earth just like The Homes of Donegal I long to see your smiling children Standing by the door The kettle boiling on the hearth As I walk up the floor And then to see a welcome free For travellors one and all For your hearts are like your mountains In the Homes of Donegal The time has come for me to go And bid you all adieu For the open highway calls me back To do these things I do But when Im travelling far away Your friendship I'll recall And please God I'll soon return unto The Home of Donegal |
