Doonaree - Live

Doonaree as Sung by Brendan O; Dowda & Ruby Murray

If you ever go to Ireland,
I'm sure you will agree
To take the road from Dublin town
Way down to Doonaree
And when you find the wishing well
Beyond the chestnut tree
In a shady nook, by a winding brook,
Will you make this wish for me

Oh to be in Doonaree
With a sweetheart I once knew
To stroll in the shade of the leafy glade
Where the rhododendrons grew
To sit with my love on the bridge
Above the rippling waterfall
To go back home, never more to roam
Is my dearest wish of all

And if you take the hilly path
To the woods where bluebells grow
Where we as barefoot children played
So many years ago
You'll find a slumbering castle there
Enshrined in memory
Beneath the spell of a wishing well
Will you make this wish for me

Oh to be in Doonaree
With a sweetheart I once knew
To stroll in the shade of the leafy glade
Where the rhododendrons grew
To sit with my love on the bridge above
The rippling waterfall
To go back home, never more to roam
Is my dearest wish of all
