Donegal Danny The Irish Brigade

[Verse 1]
I remember the night when he came in
From the wintery cold and damp
A giant of a man in an oilskin coat
With the bundle which told he was a tramp
He stood at the bar and called a pint
Then turned and gazed at the fire
On a night like this to be safe and dry
Is my one and only desire

[Chorus]
So it's here's to those that are dead and gone
The friends that I loved dear
And it's here's to you then I'll bid you adieu
Saying Donegal Danny's been here me boys
Donegal Danny's been here!

[Verse 2]
Then in a voice that was hushed and low he said:
Listen I'll tells you a tale
How a man of the sea became a man of the road
And never more will set sail
I've fished out of Howth and Killybegs
Ardglass and Baltimore
But the cruel sea has beaten me
And I'll end my days on the shore
