Donegal

The day I arrived, I dove into the sea

And pleaded, "Donegal, please look after me"

I broke the surface, and the cold water shocked me

It brought me to, I said, "I'll look after you, too"

Ooh-ooh-ooh

The day I left home, my mother said to me

"Whatever you do, don't fall in love

Please come back to me"

Well, I'm sorry, Mum, I've gone and done it

The moss and the views and that lovely man, too

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Is there a home out here for me, forever?

Have I found home out here for me, forever?

Is there a home out here for me, with you, forever?

Have I found a home here for me, with you, forever?

Today, I join the well-trodden queue

Of British people desperately in love with you

Aware of history and our vast lack of knowledge

Can I even be here?

I swear I'll honor my promise

Is there a home out here for me, forever?

Have I found home out here for me, forever?

Is there a home out here for me, with you, forever?

Have I found a home here for me, with you, forever?

Donegal, please look after me
