G C G Back to Donegal Going to see Old Leo C G Into Roddens bar Paul don't forget your banjo Am G Knock up all the old tribe Laurence, Liam, Billy Am G Hilary, Eileen, Seercha on the banks of Lough Swilly G C G We saw the big yellow moon go down; we played all night in Letterkenny C G Singing the Whistling thief all my mates were whistling with me Am G Playing tunes upon the ferry from Holy head or Stranraer Am G Hitched ourselves a ride to the steps of the Gweedor bar G C G After rolling out some tunes and all the cans that we could carry C G All pile in Seamus Macs bus through the road blocks outside Derry Am G John shouts for Paddy on the TurnpikeLaurence shouts Oh can ya/ Am G Everyone we know there we must be in Buncrana G C G Stephen winks at Dinny Dinny winks at Paul C G Tomas is cradling his pipes, Martins cradling a football Am G Home to see old friends and family, feeling ten feet tall Am G From West Kilburn to Paddington Basinback to Donegal G C G Playing sets of reels and jigs, oh how I feel my soul flies C G From the bar to someones kitchen, singing to the sunrise Am G Elliets fiddle-bow is scratching, The Devils jig from her violin Am G Pauls long fingers picking The Butchers Apron, plucking on his banjo skin G C G Steves hand is like a humming bird, whipping out rhythm on the mandolin C G Smiling like George Formby, it makes me smile to see him grin Am G Catch the flying tune; its skipping and a-rolling in the rhythm Am G Catching a fiddlers dark brown eyes, I cant stop looking in them. G C G Such a crazy love we cant get enough, Im in love with the whole damn crowd of my friends G C G Im in love with them; were in love with the tune Were in love with the dance that will never end Am G Were in love with the winding roads that bend Through the mountains, valleys and down through the Glen Am G Were in love with the glimmering light on the hills Were in love with the bar that pays all our bills G C G The rhythm takes a hold of me; I cant keep my feet still C G This ones for the barman, the one who keeps my glass filled Am G Fionuallas crying a story of love thats shes been bursting to tell Am G Someones torn the clanger out of the landlords drinking bell G C G Ask the landlord to give us some of that beer that were helping him to sell C G Give us that song, you know how it goes the town I love so well Am G We dont know where we going, but well tell you where weve been Am G Im touching the earth, Im a travelling Man and Im joking with Ossian G C G Ive come from the land of the ever-young, Im a fool who keeps on falling in love G C G I love women and I cant get enough, Ill dance with them till my legs fall off Am G Teach them the Hokey Kokey, laughing well dance arm in arm Am G Now were off to Downings, Ballyshannon and Strabane G C G Killybegs, Malinhead then Sheephaven and Coleraine C G As true to our word the last time we were here that wed be back again Am G When were travelling well give your love to somebody who knows you Am G Lock us in here with you land lord weve got no homes to go to G C G I feel Im tearing myself away Ill love you and Ill leave ya C G Ill be back some old day to West Kilburn and Buncranna Am G The barmans shouting out to everybody Have you got no homes to go to? Am G I sing Ive got no home in this world anymore Im just passing through G C G Home is where my friends are and you are all part of me C G Ill leave you with this song are you coming Or are you going to try to stop me. G C G Home is where my friends are and you are all part of me C G Ill leave you with this song are you coming Or are you going to try to stop me.
