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 it And reality is plain May time not pass so slowly For 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
