   I have been to Glen and Carrick
   In the parish of Kilcar,
   I soon was very sorry
   That I had roamed so far,
   I thought of wife and children
   I never might see more
   And I wished myself back safe and sound
   On the Hills of Barnesmore.

   I’ve been in Mountcharles
   A few miles from Dooran Rock,
   And on a hrvest fair-day,
   The people there do flock;
   Some come from Dunkineely,
   And some up from Gweedore,
   Some come from the town of Glenties
   And the rest from Barnesmore.

   I’ve been to Donegal,
   It’s beautiful, I know,
   It’s built upon the river-bank
   Where the Esk does gently flow;
   I’ve been around its borders
