Текст песни
I close my eyes and picture
The emerald of the sea
From the fishing boats at Dingle
To the shores of Dun Aidee
I miss the River Shannon
And the boats at Skibbereen
The moorlands and the meadows
With their forty shades of green
But most of all I miss the 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 love to watch the farmers
Drain the bogs and spade the turf
To see again the thatching of
The straw the women glean
To walk from Cork to Larne to see
The forty shades of green
But most of all I miss the 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
Where the breeze is sweet as Shalimar
And there's forty shades of green
