Donegal Danny - The Dubliners[00:00:00]

I remember the night that he came in from the wintery[00:00:08]

Cold and damp[00:00:14]

A giant of a man in an oilskin coat and a bundle that[00:00:17]

Told he was a tramp[00:00:22]

He stood at the bar and he called a pint then turned[00:00:25]

And gazed at the fire[00:00:30]

On a night like this to be save and dry is my one and[00:00:34]

Only desire[00:00:39]

So here's to those that are dead and gone the friends[00:00:42]

That I loved dear[00:00:48]

And here's to you and I'll bid you adieu sayin'[00:00:51]

Donegal Danny's been here me boys [00:00:55]

Donegal Danny's been here[00:00:59]

Then in a voice that was hushed and low he said[00:01:04]

Listen I'll tell you a tale[00:01:08]

How a man of the sea became a man of the road and never[00:01:12]

More will set sail[00:01:17]

I fished out of Howth and Killybegs Ardglass and[00:01:20]

Baltimore[00:01:26]

But the cruel sea has beat'n me and I'll end my days on[00:01:29]

The shore[00:01:35]

So here's to those that are dead and gone the friends[00:01:37]

That I loved dear[00:01:42]

And here's to you and I'll bid you adieu sayin'[00:01:46]

Donegal Danny's been here me boys [00:01:50]

Donegal Danny's been here[00:01:54]

One fateful night in the wind and the rain we set sail[00:01:58]

From Killybegs town[00:02:04]

There were five of us from sweet Donegal and one from[00:02:07]

County Down[00:02:12]

We were fishermen who worked the sea and never counted[00:02:15]

The cost[00:02:21]

But I never thought 'ere that night was done that my[00:02:24]

Fine friends would all be lost[00:02:28]

So here's to those that are dead and gone the friends[00:02:32]

That I loved dear[00:02:37]

And here's to you and I'll bid you adieu sayin'[00:02:40]

Donegal Danny's been here me boys [00:02:45]

Donegal Danny's been here[00:02:49]

Then the storm it broke and drove the boat to the[00:02:53]

Rocks about ten miles from shore[00:02:57]

As we fought the tide we hoped inside to see our homes[00:03:01]

Once more[00:03:07]

Then we struck a rock and holed the bow and all of us[00:03:10]

Knew that she'd go down[00:03:15]

So we jumped right into the icy sea and prayed to God[00:03:18]

We wouldn't drown[00:03:24]

But the ragin' sea was risin' still as we struck out[00:03:27]

For the land[00:03:33]

And she fought with all her cruelty to claim that[00:03:35]

Gallant band[00:03:41]

By Saint John's point in the early dawn I dragged[00:03:44]

Myself on the shore[00:03:49]

And I cursed the sea for what she'd done and vowed to[00:03:52]

Sail her never more[00:03:58]

So here's to those that are dead and gone the friends[00:04:01]

That I loved dear[00:04:06]

And here's to you and I'll bid you adieu sayin'[00:04:09]

Donegal Danny's been here me boys [00:04:14]

Donegal Danny's been here[00:04:18]

Ever since that night I've been on the road[00:04:22]

Travelling and trying to forget[00:04:26]

That awful night I lost all my friends[00:04:30]

I see their faces yet[00:04:34]

And often at night when the sea is high[00:04:38]

And the rain is tearing at my skin[00:04:43]

I hear the cries of drowning men[00:04:47]

Floating over on the wind[00:04:51]

So here's to those that are dead and gone[00:04:55]

The friends that I loved dear[00:04:59]

And here's to you then I'll bid you adieu[00:05:03]

Saying Donegal Danny's been here me boys[00:05:07]

Donegal Danny's been here[00:05:12]

So here's to those that are dead and gone[00:05:15]

The friends that I loved dear[00:05:20]

And here's to you then I'll bid you adieu[00:05:24]

Saying Donegal Danny's been here me boys[00:05:28]

Donegal Danny's been here[00:05:32]
