Doonaree - Teresa Duffy
Oh to be in doonaree
With the sweetheart I once knew
To stroll in the shade of the leafy glade
Where the rhododendrons grew
To sit with my love on the bridge above
All the rippling waterfall
To go back home
Never more to roam is my dearest wish of all
If you ever go to Ireland
I'm sure you will agree
To take the road from Dublin town
Way down to doonaree
And when you'll find a wishing well
Beyond a chestnut tree
In a shady nook by a winding brook
Will you make this wish for me
Oh to be in doonaree
With the sweetheart I once knew
To stroll in the shade of the leafy glade
Where the rhododendrons grew
To sit with my love on the bridge above
All rippling waterfall
To go back home never more to roam
Is my dearest wish of all
