You may travel far far from your own native home
Far away o'er the mountains
Far away o'er the foam
But for all the fine places that I've ever seen
There's none to compare with the cliffs of duneen

It's a nice place to be on a fine summer's day
Watching all the wild flowers that never decay
The hare and wild pheasant are plain to be seen
Making homes for their young 'round the cliffs of Duneen

Take a view o'er the mountains
Fine sights you'll see there
You'll see the high rocky slopes
On the west coast of clare
The towns of Kilrush and Kilkee can be seen
From the high rocky slopes of the cliffs of Duneen

Fare thee well to Duneen
Fare thee well for a while
And to all the fine people I'm leavin' behind
To the streams and the meadows
Where late I have been
And the high rocky slopes 'round the cliffs of Duneen
