I've just stepped in to see you all
I'll only stay a while
I want to see how you're getting on
I want to see you smile
I'm happy to be back again
To greet you one and all
For there's no place else on earth just like
The homes of Donegal
I long to see your happy faces
Smiling at the door
The kettle's singing on the hob
As I step up the floor
And soon the teapot's filling up
My cup that's far from small
For your hearts are like your mountains in
The homes of Donegal
ย
I long to sit alone with you
And while away the night
With tales of yore and faerie lore
Beside your fireside bright
And then to see prepared for me
A bed beside the wall
There's a rest for weary wanderers in
The homes of Donegal
ย
The time has come and I must go
I bid you all adieu
The open highway calls me forth
To do the things I do
And when I'm wandering far away
I'll hear your voices call
And please God I'll soon return unto
The homes of Donegal
ย
And please God I'll soon return unto
The homes of Donegal
