I said goodbye to Mayo and lifted my old case,
I couldn't bear to see the tears roll down my mother's face,
My father gave me money, the last few bob he had,
Rolled up in a note that read, 'Your Ever Loving Dad'

The time it passed so quickly and I never made it home,
I'm too old now for working, and I'm living all alone.
But when I've had too much to drink, through the tears I see.
The ten acres and the fishing boat and our cottage by the sea.

This little weather-beaten cottage by the sea is at Magheroarty beach in Donegal, a curve of almost pink sand looking out to the islands of Inishbofin and Tory to one side, and Horn Head to the other.
