The lights of London Are far behind The thoughts of homeland Are crowding my mind Familiar places Come into view I see my home now Soon I will see you 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 We'll talk to the old folks For they're getting on And treat them to late nights And 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 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 Then tomorrow We'll take a walk Down to St. Mary's To a sheltered spot We'll kneel and pray there For the ones that are gone And hope they'll be proud of Their wandering son 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 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
