Lyrics for Green and Red of Mayo by The Saw Doctors:
| | | Artist: | The Saw Doctors |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Green and Red of Mayo | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 58 | | | | Lyrics: | 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
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
