The Wild Mountains of Donegal.

I'll go back to my fathers house
And live on my fathers land;
For my fathers house is by ROSES shore
That slopes to Dooran strand,
And the wild mountains Of Donegal
Rise up on either hand.
I've been out of sight Of Donegal
For seven years and day,
And true enough it's long, long while
For a wanderer to stay,
But the hills of home are aye in my heart
And never are far away.
The long white road leads over the hills
From Fanad to Kilcar,
And circles past Gweebara bay
Where the deep sea waters are,
Where the long gray boats go out by
night
To fish beyond the bar.
IT'S there that I'll pass my years away
Back in my native land.
In my fathers house on Roses shore
That lies by Dooran strand,
Where the hills of ancient Donegal
Rise up on either hand.
