Lyrics
Last night I had a pleasant dream, I woke up with a smile.
I dreamt that I was back again in Dear Old Erin's Isle.
I thought I saw Lough Allen's Bank in the valleys down below.
It was my lovely Leitrim where the Shannon Waters flow.
I stood enchanted by the scene of grandeur and delight.
I heard it all for Carrigdhoun before the dark of night.
I passed Shemore that fairy hill where the flowers wildly grow.
And I saw the grave of Fionn
MacCumhaill where the Shannon Waters flow.
Far across yonder blue lies a true fairy land.
With the sea rippling over the shingle and sand.
Where the gay honeysuckle is luring the bee.
And the green glens of Antrim are calling to me.
But only you knew by the lamp of the moon.
Turns a blue Irish bay to a silver lagoon.
You'll imagine a picture of Heaven it will be.
Where the green glens of Antrim are calling to me.
Sing me the song and I'll take you along.
From Ballintra down to Porthall.
In memories of times, I shall never forget.
My days in Old Donegal.
Visiting friends on a Sunday.
In that old valuable day.
Listening to all the great stories.
Over a warm cup of tea.
These are the memories I've gathered.
But now I'm so far from it all.
If wishes came true what I wish to do.
Is go back there to Old Donegal.
So, sing me the song and I'll take you along.
From Ballintra down to Porthall.
In memories of times, I shall never forget.
My days in Old Donegal.
In memories of times, I shall never forget.
My days in Old Donegal.
