[E]I’m dreamin’ tonight of days [A]so long a[E]go.
The days of my childhood, in the county of May[B]o.

[E]Take me [A]back to Tour[E]makeady
[A]Back to Tour[E]makeady in the county of Mayo.
Born in Tourmakeady, the village of the Gael
Looking out across Lough Mass as the fishermen set sail.
‘Tis when I do remember the beauty of it all.
The lovely clear blue waters, and the partry mountains tall.
Chorus
The hills of Tourmakeady have many shades of green.
Like a woven patchwork quilt, the finest ever seen
To gaze upon them from Lough Mass would take your
breath away.
How I loved to walk those hills to living childhood days.
