Lyrics
Gweedore
Chorus
Gweedore your rugged hills are calling me
Gweedore I can hear you call my name
Gweedore your beauty has caught hold of me
Gweedore I will never be the same
I?ve never seen anywhere as beautiful before
A thousand shades of autumn from the skyline to the shore
I count the days ?till I return to Donegal once more
Gweedore, oh Gweedore
Chorus
I won?t forget the turf-stacks on the purple-tinted land
Or the bright red Rowan trees and the walks along the strand
The friendly smiling faces and the wave you can?t ignore
Gweedore, oh Gweedore
