Forty Shades Of Green - Johnny Cash
Green green forty shades of green
I close my eyes and picture the emerald of the sea
From the fishing boats at
Dingle to the shores of dunardee
I miss the river Shannon and the folks at skibbereen
The moorlands and the midlands with
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
Green green 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 lane 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
