The Green and Red of Mayo

The Green and Red of Mayo - Irish Songs

The green and red of mayo

I can see it still

It's soft and craggy boglands

It's tall magestic hills

Where the ocean kisses ireland

The waves caress it's shore

The feelin'it came over me

Tostay for ever more

Forever more

From it's rolling costal waters

I can see croagh patrick's peak

Where one sunday every summer

The pilgrims climb the reek

Where st patrick in it's solitude

Looks out across clew bay

And with the ringin' of his bell

Called the faithful there to pray

There to pray

Take me to clare island

The home of granuaile

It's waters harbour fishes

From the herring to the whale

And now i must depart it

And reality is plain

May the time not pass so slowly

Till i set sail again

Set sail again

The green and red of mayo

I can see it still

It's soft and craggy boglands

It's tall magestic hills

Where the ocean kisses ireland

The waves caress it's shore

The feelin' it came over me

Tostay for ever more

Forever more

Forever more

Forever more

Tostay for ever more

The green and red of mayo

The green and red of mayo

The green and red of mayo

The green and red of mayo

The green and red of mayo

The green and red of mayo

The green and red of mayo

The green and red of mayo
