Cliffs Of Dooneen
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You may travel far far from your own native home
Far away o'er the mountains, far away o'er the foam
But of all the fine places that I've ever seen
There's none to compare with the cliffs of Dooneen
Take a view o'er the mountains, fine sights you'll see there
You'll see the high rocky mountains on the west coast of Clare
The towns of Kilkee and Kilrush can be seen
From the high Rocky slopes of the Cliffs of Dooneen
Fare thee well to Dooneen, Fare thee well for a while
And to all the fine people I'm leaving behind
To the streams and the meadows where late I have been
And the high rocky slopes of the Cliffs of Dooneen
You may travel for far from your own native home
Far away o'er the mountains, far away o'er the foam
But of all the fine places that l've ever seen
There's none to compare with the Cliffs of Dooneen
