The Saw Doctors - Green and Red of Mayo слова песни
We went out to a weekend festival on Clare Island in August 1990and 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 laterThe Green and Red of MayoI can see it stillIt`s soft and craggy boglandIt`s tall majestic hillsWhere the ocean kisses IrelandAnd the waves carress it`s shoreThe feeling it came over meTo stay forever moreForever moreFrom it`s rolling coastal watersI can see Croagh Patrick`s peakWhere one Sunday every SummerThe pilgrims climb the reekWhere Saint Patrick in it`s solitudeLooked down across Clew BayWith a ringing of his bellCalled the faithful there to prayThere to prayTake me to Clare IslandThe home of GranuaileIt`s waters harbour fishesFrom the herring to the whaleAnd now I must depart itAnd reality is plainMay the time not pass so slowlyBefore I set sail againSet sail againCopyright: jarir al-majar/l.moran/d.carton
