Sharing it gladly, Here it is!

My Donegal Shore

O' I know it's not right reminiscing to-night,
Of days that are gone and returning no more,
For the girl I dream of, has another man's love.
Far, far away on a Donegal Shore.

But why should I care, if she's happy over there.
She may have children, she may be wealthy or poor,
But I can't help my dreams of what might have been,
If I stayed at home on my Donegal Shore.

(Chorus)

Now it's winter time here, all the trees will be bare,
And the rain clouds will darken my native Gweedore.
But if that girl I could hold, every rain drop would be gold,
Thay would fall all around us on my Donegal Shore.

Now there's no one to blame, but before she took his name
When she told me she loved him, it hurt to the core.
But I never could descend to be only her friend,
So I left her there on my Donegal Shore.

(Chorus)
