You may travel far, far from your own native home
Far away 'cross the mountains, far away 'cross the foam
And of all the fine places that I've ever seen
There are none to compare to the cliffs of Dooneen

It's a fine place to be on a warm summers day
Watching all the wild flowers prepare do display
And the hare and the pheasant can oft times be seen
Making homes for their young on the cliffs of Dooneen

Take a view o'er the mountains, fine sights you'll see there
See the high rocky mountains of the West coast of Clare
And the towns of Kilkee and Kilrush can be seen
From the high rocky slopes of the cliffs of Dooneen

Fare thee well to Dooneen, fare thee well for a while
And to all the fine people I'm leaving behind
To the streams and the meadows where late I have been
And the high rocky slopes of the cliffs of Dooneen
