There are wild and rocky hills on the coast of Donegal
(CHORUS) With a pleasant rolling sea and the herring running free
Well you don your rubber boots |

If you know the Chieftains version I would be very grateful to see it. In the meantime, here's Tommy Makem's "Boys from Killybegs.”
BOYS OF KILLYBEGS
There are wild and rocky hills on the coast of Donegal.
CHORUS: With a pleasant, rolling sea and the herring running free,
Well you've donned your rubber boots and you've got your oilskins on,
Now you're headed out to sea and the wind is running free,
When the weather's blowing rough and the work gets very tough,
Well there's purple on the hills and there's green down by the shore, |
