3/4 time
Capo on 3
Intro:
As I stand above the starboard bow and watch the ocean foam
As I view each new horizon I grow further from my home
I m sailing on a foreign ship, that s bound for Montreal
But I d give the world to make my destination Donegal
I would make my way from Malin to Bundoran through Raphoe
Or Portsalon down to Killybegs by Creeslough and Dungloe
I d wander around by Barnesmore Gap to everyone I d call
And beyond the Bluestack mountains to the town of Donegal
Oh Donegal I miss you and I ll never understand
Why I left you for those far off lands, against my hearts command
Whatever fortune comes my way, whatever may befall
I know I ll make my final destination Donegal
