Forty Shades Of Green-Barnbrack

40 Shades Of Green - Barnbrack I close my eyes And picture the emerald of the sea From the fishing boats at Dingle To the shores of Donaghadee I miss the river Shannon And the folks at Skibbereen The moorlands and the meadows And their forty shades of green But most of all I miss a girl in Tipperary town And most of all I miss her lips as soft as eiderdown Again I want to see and do The things we've done and seen Where the breeze is sweet as Shalimar And there's forty shades of green I wish that I could spend an hour At Dublin's churning surf I'd love to watch the farmers In the bogs spade the turf To see again the thatching Of the straw the women glean I'd walk from Cork to Larne To see the forty shades of green But most of all I miss a girl In Tipperary town And most of all I miss her lips As soft as eiderdown Again I want to see And do the things we've done and seen Where the breeze is sweet As Shalimar and there's forty shades of green Where the breeze is sweet As Shalimar and there's forty shades of green
