Christy Moore - The Cliffs of Dooneen lyrics

You may travel 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 I've ever seen
Three's none to compare with
The Cliffs of Dooneen

Take a view o'er the water
Fine sights you'll see there
You'll see the high rocky slopes on
The West coast of Clare
The towns of Kilrush and Kilkee can be seen
From the high rocky slopes at
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
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 a while
And to all the fine people I'm leaving behind
To the streams and the meadows
Where late I have been
And the high rocky slopes of
The Cliffs of Dooneen
