The Cliffs of Doneen
You may travel far far from your own
native home,
Far away o'er the mountains, far a-way
o'er the foam,
But of all the fine places that I've
ever been
Sure there's none can compare with the
cliffs of Doneen.
Take a view o'er the mountains, fine
sights you'll see there
You'll see the high rocky mountains
o'er the west coast of Clare
Oh the towns af Kilrushand Kilkee can
be seen
From the high rocky slopes round the
cliffs of Doneen.
It's a nice place to be on a fine
summer's day
Watching all the wild flowers that
ne'er do decay
Where the hares and lofty pheasants
are plain to be seen
Making homes for their young round the
cliffs of Doneen.
Fare thee well to Doneen, fare thee
well for a while
And to all the kind people I'm leaving
behind
To the streams and the meadows where
late I have been
And the high rocky slopes round the
cliffs of Doneen.
