Green And Red Of Mayo

Oh the green and red of Mayo

I can see it still

It's soft and craggy boglands

It's tall majestic hills

Where the ocean kisses Ireland

and the waves caress its shore

Oh the feelin' it came over me

Stay forever more, forever more

From its rollin' coastal waters

I can see Croagh Patrick's peak

Where one Sunday every summer

The Pilgrims climb the reek

Where Saint Patrick in its solitude

Looks down across Clew Bay

With the ringin' of his bell

Call the faithful there to pray, there to pray

Oh take me Clare Island

The home of Granuaile

It's waters harbor fishes

from the herring to the whale

And now I must depart

and reality is plain

May time not pass so slowly

Before I set sail again, set sail again

Oh the green and red of Mayo

I can see it still

It's soft and craggy boglands

It's tall majestic hills

Where the ocean kisses Ireland

and the waves caress its shore

Oh the feelin' it came over me

Stay forever more, forever more

Stay forever more

Oh the green and red of Mayo

Oh the green and red of Mayo

Oh the green and red of Mayo

Oh the green and red of Mayo
