In the old days a man is born in Donegal and when he is 16 what does he do he jumps to the UK or the US to survive

A great song indeed. Not from Donegal myself. My family hail from West Cork which is a very different place altogether. Living in Central America for the past twenty years. My kids speak Spanish and hardly a word of English between them.

Seid 1980 bin ich Jahr für Jahr in Irland. 1986 habe erstmals Paul Bradys interpretation gehört und war überwältigt. Als Donegal-Liebhaber- es ist eine Hymne. Ich habe meine irischen Freunde in Mountcharles genervt, das diese Version die beste musikalische ist. Es hat nicht lange gedauert, das sie aktzeptiert haben-und Freunde sind wir immer noch. Long as we lived.

I've just dropped in to see you all I'll only stay awhile I want to hear how you're getting on I want to hear you smile I'm happy to be back again And greet you big and small For there's no place on earth just like The homes of Donegal I long to see your smiling children Standing by the door The kettle boiling on the hearth As I walk up the floor And then to see a welcome free For travellers one and all For your hearts are like your mountains In the homes of Donegal I'd like to stay along with you And while away the night With fairy lore and tales of yore Beside the turf fire bright And then to see laid out for me A shake-down by the wall For there's rest for weary wanderers In the homes of Donegal the time has come for me to go And bid you all adieu For the open highway calls me back To do these things I do But when I'm travelling far away Your friendship I'll recall And please God I'll soon return unto The homes of Donegal Donegal, Pride of all Donegal, Pride of all

Best ever version.The magnificent Paul Brady

Such a beautiful song. Sums up how most people living abroad feel when they go home. I wish he did a version for every county in Ireland so all of us living abroad had something to sob about😂

a few years ago i stood with with by son Brendan in the East coast of New Zealand Te Kaha we agreed it was beautiful ,but i remembered my childhood ....Donegal worth shedding tears for

Living in Connemara for a very long time and this song by Paul Brady really brings it home to me as does Phil Coulter's The town I love so well ❤️

Ireland and the Irish are blessed to have such a heavenly place as Donegal.

My ancestors were from Donegal,it's beautiful I would of never left it.

Bring a tear to a glass eye absolutely beautiful 👍

Beautiful Donegal

I have been to Donegal very nice would like to go back again maybe this coming summer my wife catherine eilish osullivan is from carlow

The first one to popularize this ballad was a guy called Charlie McGee in the late 50's. It was played almost every Saturday on Radio Eireann ( Irish Radio) in a programme called The Walton Programme ....Paul (I think ) recorded it in the 70's..They used to name the singer.."Charlie McGee and his gay guitar"...

Whale oil beef hooker what great music to be sure.

thank you for such a great sound!!1

Been a Paul Brady fan for about 30 years. Been to Donegal, too. The only song of his that brings tears more often is “The Island”. He is truly Ireland’s Dylan...

AH - TO JUST SIT HERE AND EAT MY OYSTER STEW AND LOOK AT THE PICTURES OF OLD IRELAND AND LISTEN TO PAUL BRADY AND KATE RUSBY THE BLOOMING HEATHERS --IT DOES'NT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS EXCEPT TO BE THERE !!!!!!!!

I LOVE THE SCENERY IN THE PICTURES ALSO !!!!!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY PAUL !!!!! THIS IS ONE OF YOUR BEST SONGS !!!!! IT WOULD NOT BE ST. PATRICK'S DAY IF I DID NOT HEAR THIS SONG !!!!! GOD BLESS YOU AND STAY SAFE !!!!!! MICHAEL

Here's to Aunt Eileen gone to Heaven leaving us with the fine memories of a life well lived. Just a wee lass who came to America and made a great life for herself and her family but stayed the girl from Donegal. Rest In Peace Aunt Eileen till we meet again. Say hi to Mom Margie and all the rest for me.

So honored to be from Donegal and this is such a brilliant song by Paul Brady

Paul's fantastic version & the beautiful scenery is awesome & as a proud Donegal born Man to a proud Derry Man I say well done Paul & God bless you and yours.

Hello there all & as a proud born Donegal Man who left in 1976 & now lives in Wales where I stayed for the lovely Beryl who I lost to God in 2014 after many happy years & I now visit back to my old home in Fanad as often as possible ! This Version of this fine song by Paul a proud Derry Man is the best I have ever heard & I have heard a lot including my excuse of a version of the Same 😄 Well done Paul & My dear Mother Mary was born in your own great City of Derry on Brandywell Road & RIP Mam & Dad & dear Sister Bernadette along with all departed family & Friends.

The homes of Donegal my favourite

just back from Donegal look up a old work mate who worked under ground in tunnels men who left such a place in all its wonder hard working and clever men

Every new mother should be given a copy so that they can play it for the baby.

Amazin' talent and what a beautiful song,such a gorgeous part of the Island as well.Many thanks for the excellent upload.

Paul Brady at his best...Love this song.

Fabulous version

Awesome!!

Ireland, a wonderful country. I miss Connemara. So utterly different from urbanized, dull England with its multitude of traffic laws and dull city life.

So real.

Moms from Bundoran, a surf town.

I love this version, probably the best. Makes the hairs stand up. Beautiful!

Thanks for sharing this Irish classic.
