Lyrics
In the City of Chicago
As the evening shadows fall
There are people dreaming
Of the hills of Donegal
1847 was the year it all began
Deadly pains of hunger drove a million from the land
They journeyed not for glory
Their motive wasn't greed
A voyage of survival across the stormy sea
To the City of Chicago
As the evening shadows fall
There are people dreaming
Of the hills of Donegal
Some of them knew fortune
Some of them knew fame
More of them knew hardship
And died upon the plain
They spread throughout the nation
They rode the railroad cars
Brought their songs ant music to ease their lonely hearts
To the City of Chicago
As the evening shadows fall
There are people dreaming
Of the hills of Donegal

I've yet to step onto Irish soil, but will someday. I owe it to my ancestors who fled famine and conflict. This song is about far more than merely Chicago. Thanks, Christy for this.
ALL our ancestors had it tough; My Irish great g/parents ended up on Wearside, worked down pit, begat my mother, who met mi dad, who begat 11 of us in the county of Yorkshire. All alive and well today. We've all got history, but it seems some try to hide it, for "OBVIOUS" reasons in some cases. It dos'nt go away.
I was there last week and it truly changed me. The beauty of Ireland is like no other!
You ain't irish
@wanderlust1travels why do you say someone, obviously implying me, is bitter?
Are you bitter like a lemon 🍋
Heard this song for the very first time at Duke of York, Belfast. It stole my heart forver
Great song written by Christy Moores brother Barry Moore…
Met him in the Downtown pub in letterkenny many years ago.
He was so humble….
Great song and very true.
Not only in Chicago are people dreaming of hills of Donegal but all over the world.
A great anthem to those that left the land for a better life across the ocean,their toil and sacrifice gave their descendants the American Dream
The American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it- Georgle Carlin
The greatest balladeer EVER. And will always ever be.
The man is a poet, always has been
I agree, those lyrics just resonate with me and I don't even know why. I have never been to Chicago or Donegal
Brilliant song. Brought me to tears with homesickness, except for Newfoundland - while living away - thanks so much for posting!
I asked him to play this song at his concert and he did. Wonderful
For reasons that are lost in time and brain cells that are lost to beer I bought the album Smoke and Strong Whisky in Wellington, New Zealand when it was released.
I still treasure the songs today and love Christy's songs with all my heart.
Lovely guitar acoustics 🙂
Declan gettin angry and going wild here on guitar at the end. Cut loose bro! Brilliant stuff lads. ty
Very nice.

Stirs my Irish blood. I'm not truly Irish by any means, but my ancestors came to Chicago to flee from the famine.
Great
Pure class!!! Was there at Cambridge corn exchange a few years ago….an amazing night!! Thanks Christie, Irish legend!!
I love this song. It's the first song I ever heard Christy sing. Been a fan ever since.

My childhood floods my mind. Mom & Dad and everyone else in my nanny's house witnessing these words. I'll always love that Dublin and it's firmly grounded people
I remember around 10 years ago, my parents would listen to this song and ride on, on repeat, i myself love these songs
