The homes of Donegal Paul Brady
I've uploaded this version of "The Homes of Donegal" by Paul Brady after noticing its absense on UA-cam. Personally I think this is the best version of the song and one of the best Irish songs ever. This used to be always played on the jukebox of my local bar in the "pool room" and brings back so many happy memories of many sessions! I've also added a few photos of around Donegal that I took over time.Enjoy.....

    A great song indeed. Not from Donegal myself. My family hail from West Cork which is a very different place altogether. Living in Central America for the past twenty years. My kids speak Spanish and hardly a word of English between them.

    Seid 1980 bin ich Jahr für Jahr in Irland. 1986 habe erstmals Paul Bradys interpretation gehört und war überwältigt. Als Donegal-Liebhaber- es ist eine Hymne. Ich habe meine irischen Freunde in Mountcharles genervt, das diese Version die beste musikalische ist. Es hat nicht lange gedauert, das sie aktzeptiert haben-und Freunde sind wir immer noch. Long as we lived.

    I've just dropped in to see you all I'll only stay awhile I want to hear how you're getting on I want to hear you smile I'm happy to be back again And greet you big and small For there's no place on earth just like The homes of Donegal I long to see your smiling children Standing by the door The kettle boiling on the hearth As I walk up the floor And then to see a welcome free For travellers one and all For your hearts are like your mountains In the homes of Donegal I'd like to stay along with you And while away the night With fairy lore and tales of yore Beside the turf fire bright And then to see laid out for me A shake-down by the wall For there's rest for weary wanderers In the homes of Donegal the time has come for me to go And bid you all adieu For the open highway calls me back To do these things I do But when I'm travelling far away Your friendship I'll recall And please God I'll soon return unto The homes of Donegal Donegal, Pride of all Donegal, Pride of all

    The first one to popularize this ballad was a guy called Charlie McGee in the late 50's. It was played almost every Saturday on Radio Eireann ( Irish Radio) in a programme called The Walton Programme ....Paul (I think ) recorded it in the 70's..They used to name the singer.."Charlie McGee and his gay guitar"...
