  • I remember the night that he came in from the wintery
    Cold and damp
    A giant of a man in an oilskin coat, and a bundle that
    Told he was a tramp
    He stood at the bar and he called a pint, then turned
    And gazed at the fire
    On a night like this, to be save and dry is my one and
    Only desire
    So here's to those that are dead and gone, the friends
    That I loved dear
    And here's to you and I'll bid you adieu, sayin'
    "Donegal Danny's been here, me boys,
    Donegal Danny's been here"
    Then in a voice that was hushed and low he said
    "Listen, I'll tell you a tale"
    How a man of the sea became a man of the road and never
    More will set sail
    I fished out of Howth and Killybegs, Ardglass and
    Baltimore
    But the cruel sea has beat'n me and I'll end my days on
    The shore
    So here's to those that are dead and gone, the friends
    That I loved dear
    And here's to you and I'll bid you adieu, sayin'
    "Donegal Danny's been here, me boys,
    Donegal Danny's been here"
    One fateful night in the wind and the rain we set sail
    From Killybegs town
    There were five of us from sweet Donegal and one from
    County Down
    We were fishermen who worked the sea and never counted
    The cost
    But I never thought 'ere that night was done, that my
    Fine friends would all be lost
    So here's to those that are dead and gone, the friends
    That I loved dear
    And here's to you and I'll bid you adieu, sayin'
    "Donegal Danny's been here, me boys,
    Donegal Danny's been here"
    Then the storm it broke and drove the boat, to the
    Rocks about ten miles from shore
    As we fought the tide, we hoped inside to see our homes
    Once more
    Then we struck a rock and holed the bow and all of us
    Knew that she'd go down
    So we jumped right into the icy sea and prayed to God
    We wouldn't drown
    But the ragin' sea was risin' still as we struck out
    For the land
    And she fought with all her cruelty to claim that
    Gallant band
    By Saint John's point in the early dawn I dragged
    Myself on the shore
    And I cursed the sea for what she'd done and vowed to
    Sail her never more
    So here's to those that are dead and gone, the friends
    That I loved dear
    And here's to you and I'll bid you adieu, sayin'
    "Donegal Danny's been here, me boys,
    Donegal Danny's been here"
    Ever since that night I've been on the road, travelin'
    And tryin' to forget
    That awful night I lost all my friends, I see their
    Faces yet
    And often at night when the sea is high and the rain is
    Tearing at my skin
    I hear the cries of drowning men, floating over on the
    Wind
    So here's to those that are dead and gone, the friends
    That I loved dear
    And here's to you and I'll bid you adieu, sayin'
    "Donegal Danny's been here, me boys,
    Donegal Danny's been here"
    So here's to those that are dead and gone, the friends
    That I loved dear
    And here's to you and I'll bid you adieu, sayin'
    "Donegal Danny's been here, me boys,
    Donegal Danny's been here"

    This song resonates with me as my uncle was Danny mcdaid from Donegal and is my dad’s only brother and was a fisherman like my dad James Antony mcdaid and uncle Danny drowned in his boat ⛴️ so this kills my dad and all of us we miss him so much as we no the stories of the survivors of the sea 😢❤😢

    Luke Kelly being ill already, you can see him in the beginning of the song like he is not knowing what he is supposed to do. Later he seems to have picked up the tune.

      Came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed this.
      Even through out the song you can see he seems slow and was out of energy.
      Sad.🎉
