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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

At the Dorchester Hotel [00:01:00]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jack from Connemara [00:01:27]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

McGraley does remit [00:02:52]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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