Lyrics

Oh, you may travel far, far from your own native home Far away o'er the mountains, far away o'er the foam But of all the fine places where I've ever been There is none to compare with the Cliffs of Dooneen Take a view o'er the mountains, fine sights you'll see there You'll see the high rocky mountains on the West Coast of Clare The towns of Kilkee and Kilrush can be seen From the high rocky slopes of the Cliffs of Dooneen It's a nice place to be on a fine summer's day Watching all the wild flowers that ne'er do decay The hare and lofty pheasant are plain to be seen Making homes for the young 'round the Cliffs of Dooneen So fare thee well to Dooneen, fare thee well for a while And to all the fine people I'm leaving behind To the streams and the meadows where late I have been And the high rocky slopes of the Cliffs of Dooneen
