Home To Donegal Lyrics And Chords

Home To Donegal Lyrics And Guitar Chords. This song was written by Patsy Kavanagh and recorded by Daniel O'Donnell, Nathan Carter, Mick Flavin, Seamus McGee, Lisa McHugh, Sean Wilson and Eileen King. When you get all them big country singing you're song then it must be a good song, it sure is. It's one of the finest Donegal songs I've ever heard. The first set of guitar chords here are for the version by Daniel O'Donnell.

​The lights of London, are far behind
The thoughts of homeland are crowding my mind 
Familiar places, come in to view
I see my home now, soon I'll see you    .

We'll talk to the old folk, they're getting on
Treat them to late nights, sing a few songs
We'll talk of the neighbours and life in the town
There's so much to tell them, the days fly around.

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.

                 
And then tomorrow we'll take a walk
Down to St. Marys to a sheltered spot 
We'll kneel and pray there for the ones that're gone
And hope they're proud of, their wandering son    .
