The Cliffs of DooneenFar away o'er the mountains, far away o'er the foam But of all the fine places that I've ever been Sure there's none can compare to the Cliffs of Dooneen It's a nice place to be on a fine summers day Watching all the wild flowers that ne'er do decay Oh the hares and the pheasants are plain to be seen Making homes for their young round the Cliffs of Dooneen Instrumental Verse Take a view o'er the mountains, many sights you'll see there You'll see the high rocky mountains oe'r the west coast of Clare Oh the towns of Kilkee and Kilrush can be seen From the high rocky slopes round the Cliffs of Dooneen Fare thee well to Duneen, fare thee well for a while And to all the fine people I'm leavin' behind To the streams and the meadows where late I have been And the high rocky slopes round the Cliffs of Doneen |
