Dónal and Mórag
Traditional / Proinsias Ó Maonaigh
Chorus:
Dónal, 'sé Dónal,
'sé Dónal a rinne an bhainis
Dónal agus Mórag
A rinne an bhainis ainmeall
Chorus x2
There were many noble people there
The country folk from Scotland and
The school master, the minister
And the bold McAuley there
Chorus
With hens and geese in numbers there,
Sea birds by the dozen there,
Of all of it, the favorite feast
It was the chickens they preferred
Chorus
Salmon, trout from the Erne,
Abundancy of game and birds
Prime beef and veal the tastiest
Roasted lamb and venison
Chorus
Drinks were full and generous,
With wine and Spanish brandy and
Still potcheen and honey mead
From Ireland there was ale and beer
Chorus 4x
