Joe Tully Lyr Req: Killybegs (The Chieftains) (8) Lyr Add: WHEN THE BOYS OF KILLYBEGS COME ROLLING.. 28 Jul 97

Perhaps you’re looking for the lyrics to
"WHEN THE BOYS OF KILLYBEGS COME ROLLING HOME.”

There are wild and rocky hills on the coast of Donegal
And their fishermen are hearty brave and free
And the big Atlantic swell is a thing they know quite well
As they fight to take a living from the sea.

(CHORUS) With a pleasant rolling sea and the herring running free
And then we go riding gently through the foam
When the boats are loaded down
There'll be singing in the town
When the boys of Killybegs come rolling home.

Well you don your rubber boots
And you've got your oilskins on
And you check your gear to see that it's OK
And your jumper keeps you warm, for it's cold before the dawn
And you're ready to begin another day
