You may travel far far from your own native home,

Far away o'er the mountains, far a-way o'er the foam,

But of all the fine places that I've ever seen

For there's none to compare with the cliffs of Doneen.



Take a view o'er the mountains, fine sights you'll see there

You'll see the high rocky mountains and the west coast of Clare

And The towns of Kilkee and Kilrush can be seen

From the high rocky slopes of the cliffs of Doneen.



Fare thee well to Doneen, 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 round the cliffs of Doneen.



You may travel far far from your own native home,

Far away o'er the mountains, far a-way o'er the foam,

But of all the fine places that I've ever seen

Oh there's none to compare with the cliffs of Doneen.
