Take me back to Castlebar
Take me back to Castlebar | |
| I'm waiting for John Murphy's van To take me to the site. I'm working seven days a week From morning to dark night. And when I step into the van And gently close the door, The first thing that they'll ask me 's what I did the night before! Refrain: Take me back to Castlebar In the county of Mayo! It's the only place in Ireland I'm longing for to go! They greet you with a friendly smile And bid you time of day. When I set my foot in old Mayo I never more will stray! |
