 | Ireland Highlights in Forty Shades of Green Just a quick slideshow of some of the sights on our trip through the Emerald Isle. The song, "Forty Shades of Green", was written in 1961, by Johnny Cash. This version is by "Dingle Folk". The words are here: 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 shores at Skibbereen, the moorland and meadow, 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 drain the bogs and 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. |
