[00:00.201] The Hills Of Donegal -Boys Of The Lough
[00:08.724] When I was young and in my prime
[00:13.764] My mind being free from care
[00:18.972] Whilst leaving all in Donegal to wander far away
[00:28.837] Whilst leaving all in Donegal to wander far away
[00:38.598] That I might plough the raging main going to Amerikay
[00:48.611] In Creeslough town my friends stood round
[00:53.339] And I bad adieu to all
[00:58.292] In Creeslough town my friends stood round
[01:03.163] And I bad adieu to all
[01:08.27] And down Lough Foyle and away
[01:12.03] I went from the hills of Donegal
[01:18.28] The night being dark and stormy
[01:22.509] And loud the waves did roar
[01:27.404] Our captain cries
[01:29.717] Hold off me boys
[01:32.68] Our vessel's going ashore
[01:36.789] Our captain cries
[01:39.173] Hold off me boys
[01:41.565] To deck you one and all
[01:46.205] And I rued the day I sailed
[01:50.61] Away from the hills of Donegal
[02:33.361] My father he's a farmer
[02:37.873] I mean to tell you all
[02:42.673] Between Moville near Derry
[02:46.472] And the hills of Donegal
[02:52.01] I being like many's the foolish young lad
[02:56.352] I thought I'd sail away
[03:00.912] That I might plough the raging main
[03:05.496] Going to Amerikay
[03:10.64] Here's farewell unto Castlerock
[03:14.792] Likewise unto Downhill
[03:19.504] And to that spot where we sailed by
[03:24.48] They call it sweet Moville
[03:28.816] From sweet Culmore to that foreign shore
[03:33.440] Where waves do rise and fall
[03:38.161] Adieu adieu to my wee lass on the hills of Donegal
