Verse 1:

N.C.

Oh the green and red of mayo,

N.C.

I can see it still,

N.C.

It's soft and craggy boglands,

N.C.

It's tall magestic hills,

Where the ocean kisses Ireland,

The waves caress it's shore

The feelin' it came over me,

To stay for ever more,

For ever more,

Verse 2:

From it's rolling costal waters

I can see Croagh Patrick's peak,

where one sunday every summer,

the pilgrims climb the reek

where St. Patrick in it's solitude,

looks out across Clew bay,

and with the ringin' of his bell

Called the faithful there to pray,

there to pray,

(fill 2:)

pray

Verse 3:

(Chords as verse 2)

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,

Till I set sail again,

Set sail again,
