It's a Long Way Home to Donegal - Larrikin Love

I’ll follow their father wherever you go,

I know that I’ll snow, we can bestow together,

With a drink in our chest we’ll be strong, we’ll be strong

While I love you dear mother, now, don’t you frown,

I’ll be back some day without the grey skies,

We’ll have supper, together again, we’ll have supper, once again

Refrão

It’s a long way home

It’s a long way home to Donegal

So farewell my beauty, my sweet young girl,

I’ll see you again, I’ll marry you as well,

we’ll make love, have sweet children, and make love, once again

Then December the 12th, a letter it came,

It re-sung your young love, was laid by a fever last night,

Oh no, I never saw, Oh, again

Refrão (2x)

Oh say so my brother, wherever we roam,

I love you like the places we go,

and our friends smoke cigarettes, and they’re friends, best of friends

Oh there’s no Irish blood, in our English years,

we fight with our fists and swallow our fears,

and be strong, with a drink in our chest we’ll be strong, we’ll be strong

Refrão (2x)
