You may travel far, far from your home, native home
Far away are the mountains, far away are the foes
But of all the fine places that I have ever seen
There's none to compare with the cliffs of Dunea
It's a nice place to be on a bright summer's day
Watching all the wildflowers that never do decay
All the hare and lofty pheasants are plain to be seen
Making homes for their young round the cliffs of Dunea
Then take a view o'er the mountains, find sights you'll see there
See the high rocky mountains on the west coast of Clare
All the towns of Tilkey and Kilrush, they can be seen
From the high rocky slopes round the cliffs of Dunea
Then fare thee well to Duneen, fare thee well for a while
And to all the fine people I'm leaving behind
To the streams and the meadows where late I have been
And the high rocky slopes round the cliffs of Dunea
