My Donegal Shore Oh I know its not right reminiscing tonight Of days that are gone and returning no more For the girl I dream of has another mans love Far Far away on a Donegal Shore But why should I care for She is happier ore there She may have children she may be wealthy or poor But I can?t help my dreams Of what might have been If I stayed at home on my Donegal Shore Now its winter time there all the trees will be bare And The rain clouds will darken my native theadore But if that girl I could hold Every rain drop would be gold It would fall all around us on my Donegal Shore Now there?s no one to blame But before she took his name She told me she loved me and it hurt to the core But I could never descend to be only her friend So I left her there on my Donegal shore Now its winter time there all the trees will be bare And The rain clouds will darken my native theadore But if that girl I could hold Every rain drop would be gold It would fall all around us on my Donegal Shore But if that girl I could hold Every rain drop would be gold It would fall all around us on my Donegal Shore
