There are wild and rocky hills on the coast of Donegal And the fishermen are hearty, brave and free and the big atlantic swell is a thing they know right well as they fight to make their living from the sea
Chorus: With a pleasant rolling sea and the herring running free and our ships all gliding Gently through the foam when the boats are loaded down there'll be singing in the town when the boys of killybegs come rollin home
Now you're headed out to sea and the wind is blowing free and you cast your nets as rain begins to fall and the clouds are riding high and the wind will soon blow by and today you'll amybe get your bumper haul
Chorus
Well the weather's very rough and the work gets plenty touth and the ropes will raise the welts upon your hands but you'll never leave the sea for whoever you may be when it's in your blood it's hard to live on land
Chorus
Now there's purple on the hills and there's green down by the shore and the sun has cast it's gold upon the sea and there's silver down below where the herring fishes go if we catch them there'll be gold for you and me Source: <a href="http://hghltd.yandex.net/yandbtm?fmode=inject&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.elyrics.net%2Fread%2Fb%2Fbrier-lyrics%2Fboys-of-killybegs-lyrics.html&tld=ru&lang=en&la=1444038784&tm=1447130329&text=Boys%20of%20Killybegs&l10n=ru&mime=html&sign=1987d9a2a12fb0be8dd309955a22bdaf&keyno=0" rel="nofollow">click here</a>
