The Homes of Donegal - Paul Brady 1985, written by Seán MacBride This song was written by Seán MacBride in about 1955, Seán was a native of Cruit island which is in the Rosses area of Donegal (West Donegal). He was a school Teacher at St.Baithins school in the Carrigans/St.Johnston area (East Donegal) for most of his life. Seán passed away at the age of 90 in August 1996 and is buried on Cruit Island. Seán only wrote the lyrics, the actual air itself is maybe 150 or more years old, there are many songs around using the same melody, but to my ears the closest one is a song called "The Faughan Side", This song was part of the Curriculum in national schools in East Donegal and as Seán was a Teacher in the "Laggan Valley" (South Inishowen) I'm pretty sure that is were he got his inspiration for the "Homes of Donegal". This version by Paul Brady is from his 1985 album "Back to the Centre" Here are the Lyrics.... Homes Of Donegal (Seán MacBride) I've just called in to see you all, I'll only stay a while I want to see how you're getting on, I want to see you smile. I'm happy to be back again, I greet you big and small, For there's no place else on earth just like the homes of Donegal. I always see the happy faces, smiling at the door, The kettle swinging on the crook, as I step up the floor. And soon the taypot's fillin' up me cup that's far from small, For your hearts are like your mountains, in the homes of Donegal. To see your homes at parting day of that I never tire, And hear the porridge bubblin' in a big pot on the fire. The lamp alight, the dresser bright, the big clock on the wall, O, a sight serene, celestial scene, in the homes of Donegal. I long to sit along with you and while away the night, With tales of yore and fairy lore, beside your fires so bright, And then to see prepared for me a shake-down by the wall. There's repose for weary wanderers, in the homes of Donegal. Outside the night winds shriek and howl, inside there's peace and calm, A picture on the wall up there, our saviour with a lamp, The hope of wandering sheep like me and all who rise and fall. There's a touch of heavenly love around the homes of Donegal. A tramp I am and a tramp I've been, a tramp I'll always he, Me father tramped, me mother tramped, sure trampin's bred in me. If some there are my ways disdain and won't have me at all, Sure I'll always find a welcome in the homes of Donegal. The time has come and I must go, I bid you all adieu, The open highway calls me forth to do the things I do. And when I'm trampin' far away I'll hear your voices call, And please God I'll soon return unto the homes of Donegal. Seán MacBride R.I.P Tags: |

Beltany Stone Circle, Donegal, Ireland - May Magic We invite you to join us on our Bealtaine Festival walk around the megalithic stone circle at Raphoe in Donegal. Enjoy Wyllie O Hagan http://www.wyllieohagan.com Music is by Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No 4 with permission of Kevin MacLeod http://www.incompetech.com The following information on Beltany Stone Circle is © Donegal Tourism. Beltany Stone Circle The name of this solitary hill 2 miles south of Raphoe recalls the Celtic springtime festival of Beltane (the ancient equivalent of May Day), traditionally associated with the lighting of hill-top fires to regenerate the sun. The wreckage of great stones on this well chosen site belongs to an earlier period than the Celtic Iron Age. As it stands, it poses problems of classification. Part stone circle, part mound, it has suffered at the hands of despoilers and must look very different from its original state. The enclosing ring is megalithic, several of its slabby stones attaining heights of 8 feet or more. Many lean haphazardly outward under the pressure of the disturbed, boulder-strewn interior, the surface of which is 3-4 feet higher than the surrounding land. A solitary outlier stands 70 feet to the south-east. Possible astronomical alignments have been suggested for some of the circle-stones; one, perhaps fortuitously, points to sunrise at or about Beltane.
