lirik lagu donegal danny – phil coulter
i remember the night that he came in
from the wintry cold and damp
a giant of a man in an oilskin coat
and the bundle that told he was a tramp
he stood at the bar and he called a pint
then turned and gazed at the fire
on a night like this to be safe and dry
is my one and only desire
so here’s to those that are dead and gone
the friends that i loved dear
and here’s to you then i’ll bid you adieu
saying donegal danny’s been here me boys
donegal danny’s been here
then in a voice that was hushed and low
he said: listen i’ll tell you a tale
how a man of the sea became a man of the roads
and never more will set sail
i’ve fished out of howth and killybegs
ardgl-ss and baltimore
but the cruel sea has beaten me
and i’ll end my days on the sh-r-
so here’s to those that are dead and gone
the friends that i loved dear
and here’s to you then i’ll bid you adieu
saying donegal danny’s been here me boys
donegal danny’s been here
one fateful night in the wind and the rain
we set sail from killybegs town
there were five of us from sweet donegal
and one from county down
we were fishermen who worked the sea
and never counted the cost
but i never thought ere that night was done
that my fine friends would all be lost
so here’s to those that are dead and gone
the friends that i loved dear
and here’s to you then i’ll bid you adieu
saying donegal danny’s been here me boys
donegal danny’s been here
then the storm it broke and drove the boat
to the rocks about ten miles from sh-r-
as we fought the tide we hoped inside
to see our homes once more
then we struck a rock and holed the bow
and all of us knew that she’d go down
so we jumped right into the icy sea
and prayed to god we wouldn’t drown
but the raging sea was rising still
as we struck out for the land
and she fought with all her cruelty
to claim that gallant band
by st john’s point in the early dawn
i dragged myself on the sh-r-
and i cursed the sea for what she’d done
and vowed to sail her never more
so here’s to those that are dead and gone
the friends that i loved dear
and here’s to you then i’ll bid you adieu
saying donegal danny’s been here me boys
donegal danny’s been here
ever since that night i’ve been on the road
travelling and trying to forget
that awful night i lost all my friends
i see their faces yet
and often at night when the sea is high
and the rain is tearing at my skin
i hear the cries of drowning men
floating over on the wind
so here’s to those that are dead and gone
the friends that i loved dear
and here’s to you then i’ll bid you adieu
saying donegal danny’s been here me boys
donegal danny’s been here
so here’s to those that are dead and gone
the friends that i loved dear
and here’s to you then i’ll bid you adieu
saying donegal danny’s been here me boys
donegal danny’s been here
