The Hills Of Donegal -Boys Of The Lough |
[00:08.724] |
When I was young and in my prime |
[00:13.764] |
My mind being free from care |
[00:18.972] |
Whilst leaving all in Donegal to wander far away |
[00:28.837] |
Whilst leaving all in Donegal to wander far away |
[00:38.598] |
That I might plough the raging main going to Amerikay |
[00:48.611] |
In Creeslough town my friends stood round |
[00:53.339] |
And I bad adieu to all |
[00:58.292] |
In Creeslough town my friends stood round |
[01:03.163] |
And I bad adieu to all |
[01:08.27] |
And down Lough Foyle and away |
[01:12.03] |
I went from the hills of Donegal |
[01:18.28] |
The night being dark and stormy |
[01:22.509] |
And loud the waves did roar |
[01:27.404] |
Our captain cries |
[01:29.717] |
Hold off me boys |
[01:32.68] |
Our vessel's going ashore |
[01:36.789] |
Our captain cries |
[01:39.173] |
Hold off me boys |
[01:41.565] |
To deck you one and all |
[01:46.205] |
And I rued the day I sailed |
[01:50.61] |
Away from the hills of Donegal |
[02:33.361] |
My father he's a farmer |
[02:37.873] |
I mean to tell you all |
[02:42.673] |
Between Moville near Derry |
[02:46.472] |
And the hills of Donegal |
[02:52.01] |
I being like many's the foolish young lad |
[02:56.352] |
I thought I'd sail away |
[03:00.912] |
That I might plough the raging main |
[03:05.496] |
Going to Amerikay |
[03:10.64] |
Here's farewell unto Castlerock |
[03:14.792] |
Likewise unto Downhill |
[03:19.504] |
And to that spot where we sailed by |
[03:24.48] |
They call it sweet Moville |
[03:28.816] |
From sweet Culmore to that foreign shore |
[03:33.440] |
Where waves do rise and fall |
[03:38.161] |
Adieu adieu to my wee lass on the hills of Donegal |
