You may travell far far from your own native home
Far away o'er the mountains, far away o'er the foam
But of all the fine places that ever I've been
There's none to compare with the cliffs of Dooneen

Take a view o'er the mountains fine sights you'll see there
You'll see the high rocky mountains on 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

It's a nice place to be on a fine summer's day
Watching all the wild flowers that ne'er do decay
Oh the hare and lofty pheasant are plain to be seen
Making homes for their young round the cliffs of Dooneen

Fare thee well to Dooneen, fare thee well for awhile
And to all the fine places that I'm leaving behind
To the streams and the meadows where lately I've been
And the high rocky slopes round the cliffs of Dooneen
