Saw Doctors - Green And Red Of Mayo Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • We went out to a weekend festival on Clare Island in August 1990
  • And on the boat back on a perfect autumn evening the green and red of mayo was conceived with well known Galway free-spirited minstrel jarir al-majar. It became a song about a year later
  • Oh 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
  • Oh 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
  • 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 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
  • 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
