My dad was born in Milford, Co. Donegal a long time ago.

Donegal is a place I can go to, a bit like the North Antrim Coast

where there is space to breath and it doesn’t matter what the weather

is like. Consequently Donegal, in general, is like Northern Ireland without

the headache. You can kind of forget about that side of things.

Donegal Pony

By Randall Stephen Hall ©

There’s a horse in the moon love

And he’s looking so free.

And he runs with the stars love

Though he’s caught in a field.

And he doesn’t need pockets

Cause he carries no shame.

And he’s coming to see me

Though he knows not my name.

We are tired and torn.

We are rough round the edge.

My belt I have tightened

On the thorns of the hedge.

But this Donegal pony

Doesn’t care who I am.

Doesn’t care who I am.

So I pull up some grass now

And just hold out my hand.

Ah the moon she is rising

And she’s looking so fine.

Like a bride with no bride groom.

How I wish she was mine.

Oh Cathy come home now.

I don’t care what you said.

Like a Donegal pony

Won’t you come stroke my head.
