Take Me Back To Castlebar - Tara[00:00:00]
I'm waiting for john murphy's van[00:00:05]
To take me to the site[00:00:06]
I've been working seven days a week [00:00:09]
From morning to dark night[00:00:11]
And when I get into the van[00:00:13]
And gently close the door[00:00:15]
The first thing that they ask me is[00:00:18]
What I did the night before [00:00:20]
Take me back to castlebar [00:00:22]
In the county of mayo[00:00:24]
It's the only place in ireland [00:00:26]
I'm longing for to go[00:00:28]
Where they greet you with a friendly smile[00:00:31]
And they bid you time of day[00:00:33]
When I set me foot in old mayo[00:00:35]
I never more will stay[00:00:37]
My dirty jack the ganger man[00:00:40]
He talks about the times[00:00:42]
Himself and old John Murphy[00:00:44]
Worked deep down in the mines [00:00:46]
He says he meets them often[00:00:48]
At the dorchester hotel [00:00:50]
If you want to get promotion [00:00:53]
Get down and dig like hell [00:00:55]
I'll take me back to castlebar [00:00:57]
In the county of mayo[00:00:59]
It's the only place in ireland [00:01:01]
I'm longing for to go[00:01:04]
Where they greet you with a friendly smile[00:01:06]
And they bid you time of day[00:01:08]
When I set me foot in old mayo[00:01:10]
I never more will stay[00:01:12]
Jack from connemara [00:01:15]
When he gets in the hump [00:01:17]
He talks about the money[00:01:19]
He made while working on the lump [00:01:21]
He blames old maggy Thatcher[00:01:24]
And her government as well[00:01:25]
He says he's made his money now[00:01:28]
So they can go to hell [00:01:30]
I'll take me back to castlebar [00:01:32]
In the county of mayo[00:01:35]
It's the only place in ireland [00:01:37]
I'm longing for to go[00:01:39]
Where they greet you with a friendly smile[00:01:41]
And they bid you time of day[00:01:44]
When I set me foot in old mayo[00:01:46]
I never more will stray[00:01:48]
There's another chap from Pakistan [00:01:50]
No higher than a duck [00:01:52]
He sells his wares upon the site [00:01:54]
They fell off the back of a truck [00:01:57]
He says he is a carpenter[00:01:59]
And that might well be true [00:02:01]
But I've never seen him working yet [00:02:03]
For he is always in Berg[00:02:05]
I'll take me back to castlebar [00:02:08]
In the county of mayo[00:02:10]
It's the only place in Ireland [00:02:12]
I'm longing for to go[00:02:14]
Where they greet you with a friendly smile[00:02:16]
And they bid you time of day[00:02:19]
When I set me foot in old mayo[00:02:21]
I never more will stray[00:02:23]
At the duke of york on saturday night [00:02:25]
Mcgraley does remit [00:02:28]
He says he first came over here in 1938[00:02:29]
That was the year before the war[00:02:34]
If me memory serves me clear [00:02:36]
For written on the factory wall [00:02:39]
Was no Irish wanted here[00:02:41]
I'll take me back to castlebar [00:02:43]
In the county of mayo[00:02:45]
It's the only place in Ireland [00:02:47]
I'm longing for to go[00:02:49]
Where they greet you with a friendly smile[00:02:52]
And they bid you time of day[00:02:54]
When I set my foot in old mayo[00:02:56]
I never more will stray[00:02:58]
I'll take me back to castlebar [00:03:01]
In the county of mayo[00:03:03]
It's the only place in Ireland [00:03:05]
I'm longing for to go[00:03:07]
Where they greet you with a friendly smile[00:03:09]
And they bid you time of day[00:03:12]
When I set my foot in old mayo[00:03:14]
I never more will stray[00:03:16]
