Oh the Green and Red of Mayo I can see it still Its soft and craggy boglands Its tall majestic hills Where the ocean kisses Ireland And the waves carress its shore Oh the feelin' it came over me To 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 it's solitude Looked down across Clew Bay And with the ringin' 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 'Fore I set sail again Set sail again Oh the Green and Red of Mayo I can see it still Its soft and craggy boglands Its tall majestic hills Where the ocean kisses Ireland And the waves carress its shore Oh the feelin' it came over me To 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
