The lights of London, are far behind

The thoughts of homeland

are crowding my mind

Familiar places, come in to view

I see my home now, soon I'll see you.

We'll talk to the old

folk, they're getting on

Treat them to late

nights, sing a few songs

We'll talk of the neighbours

and life in the town

There's so much to tell

them, the days fly around.

This is my homeland,

the place I was born in

No matter where I roam it's in my soul

My feet may wander a thousand places

my heart will lead me

back home to my Donegal.

And then tomorrow we'll take a walk

Down to St. Marys to a sheltered spot

We'll kneel and pray there

for the ones that're gone

And hope they're proud

of, their wandering son.

This is my homeland,

the place I was born in

No matter where I roam it's in my soul

My feet may wander a thousand places

my heart will lead me

back home to my Donegal.

This is my homeland,

the place I was born in

No matter where I go it's in my soul

My feet may wander a thousand places

But my heart will lead me

back home to my Donegal.

my heart will lead me

back home to my Donegal
