Good Song
Hey Everyone! I just decided that even though its a day late, I would post a link to one of my new favorite Irish songs by the Saw Doctors... Maybe something for the traveling crew to listen to on the long flight over there?
Here are the lyrics:
The Green and Red of Mayo
Oh the Green and Red of Mayo
I can see it still
It's soft and craggy bog lands
It's tall majestic hills
Where the ocean kisses Ireland
And the waves caress its shore
Oh the feeling it came over me
To stay forever more
Forever more
From its rolling coastal waters
I can see Croagh Patrick's peak
Where one Sunday every Summer
The pilgrims climb the reek
Where Saint Patrick in his solitude
Looked down across Clew Bay
And with a ringing of his bell
Called the faithful there to pray
There to pray
Oh take me to Clare Island
The home of GrĂ¡inne Mhaol
Its 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
'fore I set sail again
Set sail again
The Green and Red of Mayo
I can see it still
Its soft and craggy bog lands
Its tall majestic hills
Where the ocean kisses Ireland
And the waves caress its shore
The feeling it came over me
To stay forever more
Forever more
Oh the Green and Red of Mayo
[repeat 3 times]
