NOBODY SINGS THIS LIKE PAUL BRADY. LOVE THE SONG.

Here's to Aunt Eileen gone to Heaven leaving us with the fine memories of a life well lived. Just a wee lass who came to America and made a great life for herself and her family but stayed the girl from Donegal. Rest In Peace Aunt Eileen till we meet again. Say hi to Mom Margie and all the rest for me.

Lovely words I'm sure she is soo proud of you

Best ever version.The magnificent Paul Brady

A great song indeed. Not from Donegal myself. My family hail from West Cork which is a very different place altogether. Living in Central America for the past twenty years. My kids speak Spanish and hardly a word of English between them.

a few years ago i stood with with by son Brendan in the East coast of New Zealand Te Kaha we agreed it was beautiful ,but i remembered my childhood ....Donegal worth shedding tears for

MY MOST FAMOUS SONG. NOBODY CAN BEAT THIS VERSION..

As soon as I hear the opening bars of this song the hairs stand up on my neck, just brilliant, Paul just nails it.

Such a beautiful song. Sums up how most people living abroad feel when they go home. I wish he did a version for every county in Ireland so all of us living abroad had something to sob about😂

The homes of Donegal my favourite

Hello there all & as a proud born Donegal Man who left in 1976 & now lives in Wales where I stayed for the lovely Beryl who I lost to God in 2014 after many happy years & I now visit back to my old home in Fanad as often as possible ! This Version of this fine song by Paul a proud Derry Man is the best I have ever heard & I have heard a lot including my excuse of a version of the Same 😄 Well done Paul & My dear Mother Mary was born in your own great City of Derry on Brandywell Road & RIP Mam & Dad & dear Sister Bernadette along with all departed family & Friends.

Mr Paul Brady is from Strabane Co Tyrone.

I first listened to this beautiful song sitting in my Grandfathers home in Belfast 18 yrs ago. It touched me so deeply and remains to this day, my favorite Irish song. I traveled to Donegal and stayed there for a few "wild whaling nights". Its hard to describe the feeling this time in my life gave to me. I am so fortunate to have been able to spend so much time in Ireland, a place I consider home. Even with the "Troubles" I never felt so at peace there in Grandfathers house, listening to this.

this has to be the best song ever but hey this is paul brady whats more to say long health and voice to you paul

Thanks MrPat for the upload first saw this singer in concert in London uk in the late 80's loved this song and himxelf ever since🇮🇪

I love this version, probably the best. Makes the hairs stand up. Beautiful!

I have to have a daily dose of this song, it calms me so well......So good they played it twice. Nobody does it better, ....Paul Brady abu.

Thanks for sharing this Irish classic.

Living in Connemara for a very long time and this song by Paul Brady really brings it home to me as does Phil Coulter's The town I love so well ❤️

Beautiful! Awesome!

Donegal the place were my heart beats the strongest , lough cull finmore near laghey village is my homeplace , a place that haunts and hypnotizes me always , my mammys family and my daddies family all come from this magical place , if i was ever asked why i was born at all , i would reply to see and feel Donegal this was why i was born :)

Amazin' talent and what a beautiful song,such a gorgeous part of the Island as well.Many thanks for the excellent upload.

Seid 1980 bin ich Jahr für Jahr in Irland. 1986 habe erstmals Paul Bradys interpretation gehört und war überwältigt. Als Donegal-Liebhaber- es ist eine Hymne. Ich habe meine irischen Freunde in Mountcharles genervt, das diese Version die beste musikalische ist. Es hat nicht lange gedauert, das sie aktzeptiert haben-und Freunde sind wir immer noch. Long as we lived.

thanks for posting mrPatman this is indeed the version I like best. memories of scruffy murphy,s cranked to 11

Awesome!!

Fabulous version

Paul Brady's amazing voice..

Completely understand where you are coming from SuperWingman69. Much of my most cherished memories are in the Hills and Mountains of Donegal, Irelands unspoiled County. My mother used to sing this around the house whilst baking bread and feeding the 5,000. I miss her dearly.

Been a Paul Brady fan for about 30 years. Been to Donegal, too. The only song of his that brings tears more often is “The Island”. He is truly Ireland’s Dylan...

Bob Dylan met Paul to ask him how to play Lakes of Pontchartrain, and he did but Dylan couldn’t technically do it so he just does it his own way which is not nearly as good😊

Best place in the world

Beautiful song, thanks for uploading.

How I long to go there. One day for sure, would love to go visit my niece Debbie who moved to Ireland .

Beautiful.

just class

The first one to popularize this ballad was a guy called Charlie McGee in the late 50's. It was played almost every Saturday on Radio Eireann ( Irish Radio) in a programme called The Walton Programme ....Paul (I think ) recorded it in the 70's..They used to name the singer.."Charlie McGee and his gay guitar"...

Lovely ❤️

Love for Donegal

Pleasure !

Paul from the borders of england and scotland gan on paul lad up donegal

my home place nothing like it

Every new mother should be given a copy so that they can play it for the baby.

Ireland and the Irish are blessed to have such a heavenly place as Donegal.

I have been to Donegal very nice would like to go back again maybe this coming summer my wife catherine eilish osullivan is from carlow

So real.

Moms from Bundoran, a surf town.

and you are right too it is

In the old days a man is born in Donegal and when he is 16 what does he do he jumps to the UK or the US to survive

Lots Of Photos Of Glencolmcille

nice words super wing man.brillant

AH - TO JUST SIT HERE AND EAT MY OYSTER STEW AND LOOK AT THE PICTURES OF OLD IRELAND AND LISTEN TO PAUL BRADY AND KATE RUSBY THE BLOOMING HEATHERS --IT DOES'NT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS EXCEPT TO BE THERE !!!!!!!!

meanaboll lad

I've just dropped in to see you all I'll only stay awhile I want to hear how you're getting on I want to hear you smile I'm happy to be back again And greet you big and small For there's no place on earth just like The homes of Donegal I long to see your smiling children Standing by the door The kettle boiling on the hearth As I walk up the floor And then to see a welcome free For travellers one and all For your hearts are like your mountains In the homes of Donegal I'd like to stay along with you And while away the night With fairy lore and tales of yore Beside the turf fire bright And then to see laid out for me A shake-down by the wall For there's rest for weary wanderers In the homes of Donegal the time has come for me to go And bid you all adieu For the open highway calls me back To do these things I do But when I'm travelling far away Your friendship I'll recall And please God I'll soon return unto The homes of Donegal Donegal, Pride of all Donegal, Pride of all

Ireland, a wonderful country. I miss Connemara. So utterly different from urbanized, dull England with its multitude of traffic laws and dull city life.
