A                    D                    A    D     A      A  D X2
I’ve just dropped in to see you all, I’ll only stay awhile 
  A                       D             A                  D    D
I want to hear how you’re getting on, I want to see you smile 
    A           D               A                 D      D 
I’m happy to be back again, And greet you big and small 
            A           D                    A        D     A 
For there’s no place on earth just like, The homes of Donegal

[VERSE 2]
  A                D                 A        D      A       D 
I long to see your smiling children, Standing by the door 
    A              D              A                D     D
The kettle boiling on the hearth, As I walk up the floor 
    A             D                  A                  D    D  
And then to see a welcome free,  For travellers one and all 
            A                    D                  A        D     A 
Foooor your hearts are like your mountains,  In the homes of Donegal

[VERSE 3]
    A            D                   A     D        A       D 
I’d like to stay along with you, And while away the night 
     A              D              A                    D       D
With fairy lore and tales of yore, Beside the turf fire bright 
    A                D             A                 D      D  
And then to see laid out for me, A shake-down by the wall
               A              D                    A        D     A
Foooor there’s rest for weary wanderers, iiiin the homes of Donegal

[VERSE 4]
    A             D                 A       D    A      D 
The time has come for me to go, And bid you all adieu
        A            D              A                    D   D
For the open highway calls me back, To do these things I do 
    A                   D              A                     D     D
But when I’m travelling far away, Your friendship I.I.I.I’ll recall 
           A             D                A        D     A
And please God I’ll soon return unto, The homes of Donegal
