《Take Me Back To Castlebar》歌词

[00:00:00] Take Me Back To Castlebar - Tara

[00:00:05] I'm waiting for john murphy's van

[00:00:06] To take me to the site

[00:00:09] I've been working seven days a week

[00:00:11] From morning to dark night

[00:00:13] And when I get into the van

[00:00:15] And gently close the door

[00:00:18] The first thing that they ask me is

[00:00:20] What I did the night before

[00:00:22] Take me back to castlebar

[00:00:24] In the county of mayo

[00:00:26] It's the only place in ireland

[00:00:28] I'm longing for to go

[00:00:31] Where they greet you with a friendly smile

[00:00:33] And they bid you time of day

[00:00:35] When I set me foot in old mayo

[00:00:37] I never more will stay

[00:00:40] My dirty jack the ganger man

[00:00:42] He talks about the times

[00:00:44] Himself and old John Murphy

[00:00:46] Worked deep down in the mines

[00:00:48] He says he meets them often

[00:00:50] At the dorchester hotel

[00:00:53] If you want to get promotion

[00:00:55] Get down and dig like hell

[00:00:57] I'll take me back to castlebar

[00:00:59] In the county of mayo

[00:01:01] It's the only place in ireland

[00:01:04] I'm longing for to go

[00:01:06] Where they greet you with a friendly smile

[00:01:08] And they bid you time of day

[00:01:10] When I set me foot in old mayo

[00:01:12] I never more will stay

[00:01:15] Jack from connemara

[00:01:17] When he gets in the hump

[00:01:19] He talks about the money

[00:01:21] He made while working on the lump

[00:01:24] He blames old maggy Thatcher

[00:01:25] And her government as well

[00:01:28] He says he's made his money now

[00:01:30] So they can go to hell

[00:01:32] I'll take me back to castlebar

[00:01:35] In the county of mayo

[00:01:37] It's the only place in ireland

[00:01:39] I'm longing for to go

[00:01:41] Where they greet you with a friendly smile

[00:01:44] And they bid you time of day

[00:01:46] When I set me foot in old mayo

[00:01:48] I never more will stray

[00:01:50] There's another chap from Pakistan

[00:01:52] No higher than a duck

[00:01:54] He sells his wares upon the site

[00:01:57] They fell off the back of a truck

[00:01:59] He says he is a carpenter

[00:02:01] And that might well be true

[00:02:03] But I've never seen him working yet

[00:02:05] For he is always in Berg

[00:02:08] I'll take me back to castlebar

[00:02:10] In the county of mayo

[00:02:12] It's the only place in Ireland

[00:02:14] I'm longing for to go

[00:02:16] Where they greet you with a friendly smile

[00:02:19] And they bid you time of day

[00:02:21] When I set me foot in old mayo

[00:02:23] I never more will stray

[00:02:25] At the duke of york on saturday night

[00:02:28] Mcgraley does remit

[00:02:29] He says he first came over here in 1938

[00:02:34] That was the year before the war

[00:02:36] If me memory serves me clear

[00:02:39] For written on the factory wall

[00:02:41] Was no Irish wanted here

[00:02:43] I'll take me back to castlebar

[00:02:45] In the county of mayo

[00:02:47] It's the only place in Ireland

[00:02:49] I'm longing for to go

[00:02:52] Where they greet you with a friendly smile

[00:02:54] And they bid you time of day

[00:02:56] When I set my foot in old mayo

[00:02:58] I never more will stray

[00:03:01] I'll take me back to castlebar

[00:03:03] In the county of mayo

[00:03:05] It's the only place in Ireland

[00:03:07] I'm longing for to go

[00:03:09] Where they greet you with a friendly smile

[00:03:12] And they bid you time of day

[00:03:14] When I set my foot in old mayo

[00:03:16] I never more will stray
