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
I greet you big and small
For there's no place else on earth just like
The Homes of Donegal
I always see the happy faces
Smiling at the door
The kettle's swinging on the crook
As I step off the floor
And soon the teapot's filling up
Me cup that's far from small
For your hearts are like your mountains in
The Homes of Donegal
I long to sit along with you
And while away the night
With tales of yore and fairy lore
Beside your fire so bright
And then to see prepared for me
A shakedown by the wall
There's a repose for weary wanderers in
The Homes of Donegal
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 tramping far away
I'll hear your voices call
And please God, I'll soon return unto
The Homes of Donegal
