        I remember the night that he came in
                             G                             D 
        from the wintry cold and damp.
                                                         Bm 
        A giant of a man in an oilskin coat
                       G                                                   A 
        and a bundle that told he was a tramp
                   D                                           G               D 
        He stood at the bar and he called a pint,
                       G                                             D 
          then turned and gazed at the fire.
                                                                   Bm 
        "On a night like this to be safe and dry,
                       G                           A 
        is my one and only desire."
         D                                               G               D 
So here's to those that are dead and gone,
                                 Bm             A 
the friends that I loved dear.
           D                                           G                 D 
And here's to you and I'll bid you adieu,
                                 A                       D           Bm 
saying Donegal Danny's been here me boys,
   D             A                       D 
Donegal Danny's been here.
             D                                           G                       D 
        Then in a voice that was hushed and low,
                             G                                           D 
        he said 'Listen I'll tell you a tale,
                                                                     Bm 
        how a man of the sea became a man of the roads,
                   G                                     A 
        and never more will set sail.
                       D                                           G       D                 G                         D 
        I've fished out of Howth and Killybegs, Ardglass and Baltimore.
                                                       Bm 
        But the cruel sea has beaten me,
                               G                                     A 
          and I'll end my days on the shore."
                   D                                       G                       D 
        One fateful night in the wind and the rain,
                       G                                     D 
        we set sail from Killybegs town.
                                                                           Bm 
        There were five of us from sweet Donegal,
                   G                             A 
        and one from County Down.
                           D                         G                   D 
        We were fishermen who worked the sea,
                   G                                 D 
        and never counted the cost.
                                                                   Bm 
        But I never thought ere that night was done,
                   G                                                         A 
        that my fine friends would all be lost.
                               D                                   G               D 
        Then the storm it broke and drove the boat,
                         G                                                     D 
        to the rocks about ten miles from shore.
                                                           Bm 
        As we fought the tide we hoped inside,
                 G                                   A 
        to see our homes once more.
                   D                                         G                 D 
        Then we struck a rock and holed the bow,
                 G                                                         D 
        and all of us knew that she'd go down.
                                                               Bm 
        So we jumped right into the icy sea,
                     G                                                 A 
        and prayed to God we wouldn't drown.
                         D                           G           D 
        But the raging sea was rising still,
               G                                           D 
        as we struck out for the land.
                                                                 Bm 
        And she fought with all her cruelty,
                   G                                 A 
        to claim that gallant band.
               D                                           G           D 
        By St John's Point in the early dawn,
                 G                                         D 
        I dragged myself on the shore.
                                                             Bm 
        And I cursed the sea for what she'd done,
                   G                                             A 
        and vowed to sail her never more.
         D                                                             G               D 
        Ever since that night I've been on the road,
             G                                                   D 
        travelling and trying to forget,
                                                       Bm                                 G                             A 
        that awful night I lost all my friends, I see their faces yet.
                 D                                               G           D 
        And often at night when the sea is high,
                           G                                         D 
        and the rain is tearing at my skin,
                                                 Bm 
      I hear the cries of drowning men,
             G                                   A 
      floating over on the wind'.
