The Homes of Donegal - Celtic Thunder, Keith Harkin

I just dropped in to see you all

I’ll only stay awhile

I want to hear how you’re getting on I want to see you smile

I’m happy to be back again

And greet you big and small

For there’s no place else on this earth quite like

The homes of Donegal

I long to see your smiling children

Standing by the door

The kettle boiling on the hearth

As I walked up the floor

And then to see a waiting for me Travellers one and all

For your heart’s alive in your mountain size

In the homes of Donegal

I like to lie, lie along with you

While away at night

With fairy lore and tales of yore

Beside the surf fire bright

And then to see laid out for me A shake-down by the wall

For there’s rest for weary wanderers

In the homes of Donegal

Donegal, queen of all

Donegal, queen of all
