Testo Back To Tourmakeady

I'm dreamin' tonight
of days so long ago.
The days of my childhood,
in the county of Mayo.
And as I wonder back in time
my eyes fill up with tears
For I've been away so long
for oh so many years.
O', Take me back to Tourmakeady.
Back to Tourmakeady
near the town of Ballanrow.
O', Take me back to Tourmakeady
Back to Tourmakeady
in the county of Mayo.

Born in Tourmakeady,
the village of the Gael
Looking out across Lough Mass
as the fishermen set sail.
‘Tis when I do remember
the beauty of it all.
The lovely clear blue waters, and the partry mountains tall.

O', Take me back to Tourmakeady.
Back to Tourmakeady
near the town of Ballanrow.
O', Take me back to Tourmakeady
Back to Tourmakeady
in the county of Mayo.

The hills of Tourmakeady
have many shades of green.
Like a woven patchwork quilt,
the finest ever seen
To gaze upon them from Lough Mass
would take yourbreath away.
How I loved to walk those hills
to living childhood days.

O', Take me back to Tourmakeady.
Back to Tourmakeady
near the town of Ballanrow.
O', Take me back to Tourmakeady
Back to Tourmakeady
in the county of Mayo.
