Green And Red Of Mayo Lyrics

Green And Red Of Mayo lyrics

The Green and Red of Mayo

I can see it still

It's soft and craggy
bogland

It's tall majestic hills

Where the ocean kisses Ireland

And the waves carress it's shore

The feeling it came over me

To
stay forever more

Forever more



From it's rolling coastal
waters

I can see Croagh Patrick's peak

Where one Sunday every
Summer

The pilgrims climb the reek

Where Saint Patrick in it's
solitude

Looked down across Clew Bay

With a ringing 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

Before I set sail again

Set sail again
