Dear Old Donegal - Connie Francis

Written by：Chancellor Olcott

It seems like only yesterday

I sailed from out of cork

A wanderer from old erin's isle

I landed in New York

There wasn't a soul to greet me there

A stranger on your shore

But Irish luck was with me here

And riches came galore

And now that I'm going back again

To dear old Erin's isle

My friends will meet me on the pier

And greet me with a smile

Their faces sure I've almost forgot

I've been so long away

But me mother will introduce them all

And this to me will say

Shake hands with your uncle Mike me boy

And here's your sister Kate

And sure there's the girl you used to swing

Down by the garden gate

Shake hands with all your neighbours

And kiss the colleens all

You're as welcome as the flowers in May

To dear old Donnegal

Meet Branigan Fannigan Milligan Gilligan

Duffy Mccuffy Malachy Mahone

Rafferty Lafferty Donnelly Connelly

Dooley O'hooley Muldowney Malone

Madigan Cadigan Lanihan Flanihan

Fagan O'hagan O'hoolihan Flynn

Shanihan Manihan Fogarty Hogarty

Kelly o'Kelly Mcguinness Mcguinn

Shake hands with your uncle Mike me boy

And here's your sister Kate

And sure there's the girl you used to swing

Down by the garden gate

Shake hands with all your neighbours

And kiss the colleens all

You're as welcome as the flowers in May

To dear old Donnegal
