Cliffs of Donnegal – Jack Casey

Way across the dark Atlantic
Way across the raging sea
There’s a girl I remember
And I hope she thinks of me

I left her standing at the Hudson River
In her city house, life of style
I had to ramble into old Ireland
Think things through for awhile

CHORUS
In the wind I hear her singing
In the wind I hear her call
From the banks of the Hudson River
To the stone cliffs of Donnegal

I see her dark eyes ever sparkling
Bunch of lilies in her arms
Warmest smile, soft words spoken
Keep her safe from grief and harm

CHORUS

Instrumental

Dark storm’s ragin’ ‘cross the ocean
Castles standing against the wind
My heart’s in ruin, bleak and broken
The future’s dark, times are grim

But in the wind I hear her singing
In the wind I hear her call
From the banks of the Hudson River
To the stone cliffs of Donnegal
