I'm german and I can only say: God bless all irish people, this beautiful green Island and your unbelieveable beautiful music!! Especially this song makes my eyes wet- I don't know why, but there is a hidden longing to Irleland and its magical landscape, the fairytales, the people with their very unique characters... and this Version is really better than that from the Dubliners (that is also beautuful). Greetings from Germany :)
I remember the night that he came in from the wintery Cold and damp A giant of a man in an oilskin coat, and a 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 save 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 and I'll bid you adieu, sayin' "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 road and never More will set sail I fished out of Howth and Killybegs, Ardglass and Baltimore But the cruel sea has beat'n me and I'll end my days on The shore So here's to those that are dead and gone, the friends That I loved dear And here's to you and I'll bid you adieu, sayin' "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 and I'll bid you adieu, sayin' "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 shore 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 ragin' sea was risin' still as we struck out For the land And she fought with all her cruelty to claim that Gallant band By Saint John's point in the early dawn I dragged Myself on the shore 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 and I'll bid you adieu, sayin' "Donegal Danny's been here, me boys, Donegal Danny's been here" Ever since that night I've been on the road, travelin' And tryin' 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 and I'll bid you adieu, sayin' "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 and I'll bid you adieu, sayin' "Donegal Danny's been here, me boys, Donegal Danny's been here"
Unbelievable that RUclips is putting ads on this. I uploaded this and apologize, I'm not making money from it (and hate it unless they are sending the money to the artists).
I originally uploaded this as Siggy1184. It just absolutely wears me out that RUclips is monetizing this with ads, and no way they are giving to any of the Toms or their families.
Where is the third phrase? 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 ????????????????????
Saw them live in 2000 best night ever at a bar.

@@brandonseagert4495 thx for posting this as an Irish woman from Donegal and my uncle was Donegal Danny I appreciate you ❤❤❤I really hope it is you

Dan Mullen I'm the one that originally posted this, and I'm a huge fan of your father.
Great version of the song. great part of Galway too
The Dubs with Ronnie is unbeaten.
Yep, this version doesn't touch the Dubs. Sorry!.
I remember the night that he came in from the wintery
Cold and damp
A giant of a man in an oilskin coat, and a 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 save 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 and I'll bid you adieu, sayin'
"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 road and never
More will set sail
I fished out of Howth and Killybegs, Ardglass and
Baltimore
But the cruel sea has beat'n me and I'll end my days on
The shore
So here's to those that are dead and gone, the friends
That I loved dear
And here's to you and I'll bid you adieu, sayin'
"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 and I'll bid you adieu, sayin'
"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 shore
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 ragin' sea was risin' still as we struck out
For the land
And she fought with all her cruelty to claim that
Gallant band
By Saint John's point in the early dawn I dragged
Myself on the shore
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 and I'll bid you adieu, sayin'
"Donegal Danny's been here, me boys,
Donegal Danny's been here"
Ever since that night I've been on the road, travelin'
And tryin' 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 and I'll bid you adieu, sayin'
"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 and I'll bid you adieu, sayin'
"Donegal Danny's been here, me boys,
Donegal Danny's been here"

that's my father if anyone would like a copy of his CD WITH THIS SONG ON IT LET ME KNOW.
Dan Mullen the bartender of EJ's gave me his personal copy bc they ran out that night!
I think Sean Halpenny has a copy
Might like the Tossers version of this. My favorite at least.
Great version I agree, not much of a clap at the end though if it was a live performance..!!
Where is the third phrase?

????????????????????
@badbudda101 absolute good - but Ronnie Drew and The Dubliners is still number one
Bjuåker.
When he sang it particularly slowly one evening while he was plastered, that is No.1. This is a very close second
If you think this is the best version - you may not have heard Ronnie Drew and The Dubliners.
O
Best version? THe singing is not very good... Very nasal quality
What’s your version like ???
@@ciaranhickey5904 Better.
