Ian Dury - O'Donegal Lyrics
Fresh mist on the morning and tears in my eyes
I'm back for the dawning of Donegal skies
My life in the city seems light years away
When I see the Blue Mountains from Ballybofey
Where the wanderers welcome is kindest of all
We'll meet at the cross on the Rathmullen Road
Where the sight of Loch Swilly is a beauty bestowed
As we're counting our blessings away from the throng
We will hear the wild birds sing their Donegal song
Where the stranger is welcome to a true free for all
They named you, my darling, my brave Donegal
I raise up my glass at the end of the day
God bless every sunset o'er Donegal Bay
As the smell of the turf of my Donegal home
Where there's always a welcome and a how-d'you-my-call
Forever my darling, my sweet Donegal
Forever my darling, my sweet Donegal

Ian Dury O'Donegal Comments
Thank you. Do you have any idea when?
I get the impression that the song was written in 1991, the year before the album's release.
@Ffranc Rogowski That sounds like the right time. Thank you very much.
OK Agnes.
Can anyone tell me when and where this was recorded. I am aware of Ian's Donegal connections , Ballybofey and The Cross in particular, where his Mum's family had a home, and Ian often visited, but have only just come across this song.
It seems that it was recorded at Shepherd's Bush, London.
