You may talk about Atlantis
How it's lost beneath the sea
And the grave of the unknown soldier
Or the cry of the old banshee
Who was the man in the iron mask
Was Jack the Ripper set free?
But ask them all, "Where's Donegal?"
It's still a mystery
Oh, if I could I'd build a wall around ol' Donegal
The north and south, to keep them out
By God, I'd build it tall
Casinos, chicken ranches, I'd legalize them all
We'd have our own Las Vegas in the hills of Donegal
Yeah, Las Vegas, in the hills of Donegal
♪
Lay by clubs, all-night pubs
Blackjack and roulette
Bill Blayney, Brigitte Nilson
Mike Tyson's having a bite
Inishowen would then be known
For its multi-millionaires
And Donald Trump would like a chunk
To live in solitaire
Oh, if I could I'd build a wall around ol' Donegal
The north and south, to keep them out
By God, I'd build it tall
Casinos, chicken ranches, I'd legalize them all
We'd have our own Las Vegas in the hills of Donegal
Yeah, Las Vegas, in the hills of Donegal

To stand on top a Fairy Hill
Would give me such a thrill
And hear them say in Dublin
"There's gold in them there hills!" (Up Dublin!)
Don't despair, 'cause if you dare
The answer lies with me
There's a wall that's steep and it's going cheap
Somewhere in Germany
Oh, if I could I'd build a wall around ol' Donegal
The north and south, to keep them out
By God, I'd build it tall
Casinos, chicken ranches, I'd legalize them all
And we'd have our own Las Vegas in the hills of Donegal
Yeah, Las Vegas, in the hills of Donegal
