Black 47 - Her Dear Old Donegal lyrics

Your rating:

Now that she's so far away from her dear old hills of Donegal 

I wonder does she ever think of me at all 

On that wet Monday I drove her down to Shannon 

We drank brandy and kissed in the airport hall 

She said she'd be definitely home for Christmas 

But since then not even a word - not even a phone call 



Now some of the boys said she's gone a little bit crazy 

Said they've seen her hangin' round the Bronx 

Runnin' with a rough crowd 

I wonder does she ever think of me at all 

'Cause I've got no intention of hangin' round this dump forever 

Wonderin' about whether she'll love me or leave me 

Or is about to deceive me 

So if you see her, you tell from me.... 



You better sleep tight in New York City 

Now you've got a different angel watchin' over you 

And you know I tried to ring you but your phone is always busy 

And I don't think I'm ever gonna get through again to you 



So in the meantime, 

Dream on in New York City 

Now you've got a different angel watchin' over you..... 



She'll be steppin' out down Bainbridge Avenue 

Goin' down to the Village Pub on her nightly crawl 

I wonder does she ever think of me at all 

Just one more Amaretto for fortification 

Then it's "good night you good people one and all 

I've got a girlfriend, I've got to go see her over on Broadway" 

Who does she think she's foolin' at all, at all 



'Cause her dark angel waits on the corner 

With his silver pills and his Spanish charms 

Just one more moment's hesitation 

Before she falls into his arms 

Now anyone else would go over there and rescue her 

And drag her back to her dear old Donegal 

But she's left all that so far behind her 

So, if you see her, you tell her from me 



You better sleep tight in New York City 

Now you've got a different angel watchin' over you 

And you know I tried to ring you but your phone is always busy 

And I don't think I'm ever gonna get through again to you 



So in the meantime, 

Dream on in New York City 

Now you've got a different angel watchin' over you.....
