Donegal - Hair of the Dog

Donegal Lyrics

Chorus:
I wish that I was home in Donegal
To be with you beside the sea
To hear your sweet voice calling me
Back to my home in Donegal
He walks upon the streets of New Orleans
There is a strange and unfamiliar look
To every face he sees
He came here for the money
The adventure and the craic
Now all he ever thinks about
Is someday going back
[Chorus]
He misses all his family and friends
There are time that he would give all he has

To be with them again
Before the young ones move away
The old ones are all gone
Before his heart can realize
He's been away too long
[Chorus]
Sometimes he lays there dreaming in the night
That he’ll get a job of extra work
save the money for the flight
Lonely dreams in darkness
disappear before the dawn
Familiar faces fade away
All the dreams are gone
[Chorus x2]
