The Boys Of Killybegs by Tommy Makem
There are wild and rocky hills on the coast of Donegal
And her fishermen are hardy, brave and free
And the big Atlantic swell is a thing they know right
well
As they fight to take a living from the sea
Chorus:
With a pleasant rolling sea and the herring running
free
And the fleet all riding gently through the foam
When the boats are loaded down, there'll be singing in
the town
When the boys of Killybegs come rolling home
Well, you don your rubber boots and you've got your
oilskins on
And you check your gear to see that it's okay
And your jumper keep you warm, for it's cold before the
dawn
Then you're ready to begin another day
Chorus
Now, you're headed out to sea and the wind is blowing
