Intro

Verse 1
I'll follow their father wherever you go,
I know that I'll snow, we can bestow together,
With a drink in our chest we'll be strong, we'll be strong
Verse 2
While I love you dear mother, now, don't you frown,
I'll be back some day without the grey skies,
We'll have supper, together again, we'll have supper, once again
Chorus
It's a long way home
It's a long way home to Donegal
Verse 3
so farewell my beauty, my sweet young girl,
i'll see you again, I'll marry you as well,
we'll make love, have sweet children, and make love, once again
Verse 4
Then December the 12th, a letter it came,
It re-sung your young love, was laid by a fever last night,
Oh no, I never saw, Oh, again
Chorus x 2

Verse 5
Oh say so my brother, wherever we roam,
I love you like the places we go,
and our friends smoke cigarettes, and they're friends, best of friends
Verse 6
Oh there's no Irish blood, in our English years,
we fight with our fists and swallow our fears,
and be strong, with a drink in our chest we'll be strong, we'll be strong
