Gweedore Song Lyrics And Chords

Written by Roger Courtney. This ballad is sang by Peter Corry. Gweedore is in North West Donegal Ireland and is one of the most beautiful places to visit in Ireland. Other Irish ballads from the Donegal area are The Homes Of Donegal Song which has become a sort of ''Banner County'' song.

Gweedore your rugged hills are calling,
I'm sure I can hear you call my name,
Gweedore your beauty has caught hold of me,
I know I'll never be the same.

I've never seen anywhere as beautiful before,
A thousand shades of autumn from the skyline to the shore,
I count the days 'till I return to Donegal once more,
Gweedore, Gweedore
Gweedore your rugged hills are calling,
I'm sure I can hear you call my name
Gweedore your beauty has cought hold of me,
I know I'll never be the same.

I wont forget the turf stacks on the purple tainted land
Or the bright red rohan trees and the walks along the strand
The friendly smiling faces and the wave you can't ignore
Gweedore, Gweedore.
Gweedore your rugged hills are calling,
I'm sure I can hear you call my name,
Gweedore your beauty has cought hold of me,
I know I'll never be the same.

I've never seen anywhere as beautiful before,
A thousand shades of autumn from the skyline to the shore,
I count the days 'till I return to Donegal once more,
Gweedore, Gweedore
