Come Back to Donegal

I set my dreams a-sail today,
To reach an island far away,
Where shamrocks grow and hills so fair,
Are greener there than anywhere.

I walked the Irish countryside.
I shared their laughter and their pride.
I let the hours work their wiles
And warmed my heart on Irish smiles.

But all too soon, I had to come
Back to this port I started from.
Still, in my ears, faint voices call,
Come back, come back to Donegal!
