Take[G] me home to mayo,across the Irish[D] sea,
Home to dear old Mayo where[D7] once I roamed so[G] free,
Take me home to Mayo,and let my body[C] lie,
Home at last in[G] Mayo,[D]beneath an[D7] Irish[G] sky.
[2]
My name is Michael Gaughin,from Ballina I came,
I saw my country suffering,and swore to break the chains,
I raised the flag in England,prepared to fight or die,
Far away from Mayo,beneath an Irish sky.
[3]
My body cold and hungry,in Parkhurst jail I lie,
For the loving of my country,on hunger strike I die,
I have just one last longing,I pray you'll not deny,
Bury me in Mayo,beneath an Irish sky.
Home to dear old Mayo where[D7] once I roamed so[G] free,
Take me home to Mayo,and let my body[C] lie,
Home at last in[G] Mayo,[D]beneath an[D7] Irish[G] sky.

Take me home to Mayo song lyrics [2]
I've been away for far too long
Feeling lost, like I don't belong
But there's a place that feels like home
Where the green fields and the sea foam roam
Chorus:
Take me home to Mayo
Where the cliffs kiss the sky
Where the air is sweet and slow
Underneath the Emerald Isle's eye
Verse 2:
The streets are lined with friendly faces
Familiar sights, familiar places
The smell of turf, the sound of trad
There's nothing quite like it, it's all I've had
Chorus:
Take me home to Mayo
Where the rivers flow
Where the mountains stand tall
It's the only place I'll ever know
Bridge:
Though I've traveled far and wide
Nothing compares to this countryside
The rolling hills, the rugged coast
In my heart, it's what I love the most
Chorus:
Take me home to Mayo
Where the sun sets over Clew Bay
Where the love and laughter flow
In this land, I'll forever stay
Outro:
Take me home to Mayo
Where my heart will always be
In this land, I'll never let go
It's where I'm meant to be.
I've been away for far too long
Feeling lost, like I don't belong
But there's a place that feels like home
Where the green fields and the sea foam roam
Chorus:
Take me home to Mayo
Where the cliffs kiss the sky
Where the air is sweet and slow
Underneath the Emerald Isle's eye
Verse 2:
The streets are lined with friendly faces
Familiar sights, familiar places
The smell of turf, the sound of trad
There's nothing quite like it, it's all I've had
Chorus:
Take me home to Mayo
Where the rivers flow
Where the mountains stand tall
It's the only place I'll ever know
Bridge:
Though I've traveled far and wide
Nothing compares to this countryside
The rolling hills, the rugged coast
In my heart, it's what I love the most
Chorus:
Take me home to Mayo
Where the sun sets over Clew Bay
Where the love and laughter flow
In this land, I'll forever stay
Outro:
Take me home to Mayo
Where my heart will always be
In this land, I'll never let go
It's where I'm meant to be.
