Donegal Eyes
(paul moore & pat close) 2:46

I played all the games I had nothing to lose
Came back to Philly with a young Roisin Dubh
And we laughed til we cried and we drank all the day
Never thought about who'd have to pay.

When I saw you that morning at 8:30 mass
The black pints were flying your flag's at half mast
All spiked up on poison your head's in a cast
You're tortured and lived for the past

Chorus
Donegal Eyes sure they're blazing away
As we're drinking and smoking and smiling
There’s nothing that I wouldn't do for those Donegal Eyes

(whistle lead)

Here's a five for your ten and some coppers to spare
She made it a hard road all circles and squares
When I flew back to Boston to see if she cared
She left with the mist in the morning.
Well I've said alI can about those roving eyes
All bloodshot and brown through a thin blue disguise
Sure you’ve seen them yourself and you've been there besides
Take good care of my Donegal Eyes.

Chorus
Donegal Eyes sure they're blazing away
As we're drinking and smoking and smiling
There’s nothing that I wouldn't do for those Donegal Eyes

Repeat Chorus
Donegal Eyes sure they're blazing away
As we're drinking and smoking and smiling
There’s nothing that I wouldn't do for those Donegal Eyes
(I Wouldn't do) for those Donegal Eyes
(I Wouldn't do) for those Donegal Eyes
(I Wouldn't do) for your Donegal Eyes.
