lyrics

On the deck of Paddy Lynch’s boat I’m feeling only sorrow
Sighing through the dark night and weeping by the day-o
Since my mind has closed in and I’m far from all my loved ones
Oh my God, how I long for you, County Mayo
I met up with a sergeant in the day, he was in plain clothes
I thought it would be good for me, a young man going solo
Well he filled me up with whisky and he gave a gun to guard me
But I’d be better off back home in County Mayo

County Mayo, county Mayo
Only for my mother passed on, I’d have been okay-o
But with the law and all my drinking
My bones would soon be sinking
Here in Santa Cruz, not home in county Mayo

I am owed one thousand seven hundred fifty euro
I would go demanding it but into gaol I’d be thrown
They’d lock me up for debt
They’d put chains around my neck
And I’d never see again my county Mayo

County Mayo, county Mayo
I’d a bottle in each hand, I had a woman on each elbow
But with the law and all my drinking
My bones would soon be sinking
In some distant land, not home in county Mayo

Until the day Knockcroghery goes visit Abhainn Mor
Until the grass gets off its ass and herds the cattle home
Until Twelve Pins, they split in ten and out of them pour gold
I will see no more again my county Mayo

County Mayo, county Mayo
I’d a bottle in each hand, I had a woman on each elbow
But with the law and all my drinking
My bones would soon be sinking
In some distant land, not home in county Mayo
