Collection of Irish Song Lyrics
This is My Homeland (My Donegal)
The lights of London are far behind
my thoughts of homeland are crowding my mind
familiar places come into view
I see my home now, soon I'll see you
Chorus
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
We'll talk to the old folks sure they're getting on
put them to late nights and sing a few songs
We'll talk of the neighbors and life on the town
There's so much to tell them, of the days that are gone
And then tomorrow, we'll take a walk
Down by St. Mary's to a sheltered spot
We'll kneel and pray there for the ones that are gone
and hope they'll remember their wandering son
