《Take Me Back To Castlebar》歌词

[00:00:00] Take Me Back To Castlebar - Hugo Duncan

[00:00:11] I'm waiting for John Murphy's van

[00:00:13] To take me to the site

[00:00:16] I've been working seven days a week

[00:00:18] From morning to dark night

[00:00:20] And I step inside the van

[00:00:23] And gently close the door

[00:00:25] The first thing that they ask me's

[00:00:27] What I did the night before

[00:00:30] Take me back To Castlebar

[00:00:32] In the county of Mayo

[00:00:35] It's the only place in Ireland

[00:00:37] I'm longing for to go

[00:00:39] Where they greet you with a friendly smile

[00:00:42] And they bid you time of day

[00:00:44] When I set me foot in old Mayo

[00:00:46] I never more will stray

[00:00:49] My boss Jack the ganger man

[00:00:51] He talks about the times

[00:00:53] Himself and old John Murphy

[00:00:56] Worked deep down in the mines

[00:00:58] He says he meets them often

[00:01:00] At the Dorchester Hotel

[00:01:03] If you want to get promotion

[00:01:05] Get down and dig like hell

[00:01:08] Take me back To Castlebar

[00:01:10] In the county of Mayo

[00:01:13] It's the only place in Ireland

[00:01:15] I'm longing for to go

[00:01:17] Where they greet you with a friendly smile

[00:01:20] And they bid you time of day

[00:01:22] When I set me foot in old Mayo

[00:01:24] I never more will stray

[00:01:27] Jack from Connemara

[00:01:29] When he gets in the hump

[00:01:32] Sure he talks about the money

[00:01:34] He made while working on the lump

[00:01:37] Sure he blames old Maggy Thatcher

[00:01:39] And her government as well

[00:01:41] He says he's made his money now

[00:01:43] And they can go to hell

[00:01:46] Take me back To Castlebar

[00:01:49] In the county of Mayo

[00:01:51] It's the only place in Ireland

[00:01:53] I'm longing for to go

[00:01:56] Where they greet you with a friendly smile

[00:01:58] And they bid you time of day

[00:02:01] When I set me foot in old Mayo

[00:02:03] I never more will stray

[00:02:06] There's another chap from Pakistan

[00:02:07] No bigger than a duck

[00:02:10] He sells his wares upon the site

[00:02:13] They fell off the back of a truck

[00:02:15] He says he is a Carpenter

[00:02:17] And that might well be true

[00:02:20] But I've never seen him working

[00:02:22] He must be on the brew

[00:02:25] Take me back To Castlebar

[00:02:27] In the county of Mayo

[00:02:30] It's the only place in Ireland

[00:02:32] I'm longing for to go

[00:02:34] Where they greet you with a friendly smile

[00:02:37] And they bid you time of day

[00:02:39] When I set me foot in old Mayo

[00:02:42] I never more will stray

[00:02:49] At The Duke Of York on Saturday night

[00:02:52] McGraley does remit

[00:02:54] He says he first came over here in 1938

[00:02:59] That was the year before the war

[00:03:01] If me memory serves me right

[00:03:04] For written on the factory wall

[00:03:06] Was No Irish Wanted Here

[00:03:09] Take me back To Castlebar

[00:03:11] In the county of Mayo

[00:03:13] It's the only place in Ireland

[00:03:16] I'm longing for to go

[00:03:19] Where they greet you with a friendly smile

[00:03:21] And they bid you time of day

[00:03:23] When I set me foot in old Mayo

[00:03:26] I never more will stray

[00:03:29] Take me back To Castlebar

[00:03:31] In the county of Mayo

[00:03:33] It's the only place in Ireland

[00:03:35] I'm longing for to go

[00:03:38] Where they greet you with a friendly smile

[00:03:41] And they bid you time of day
