Back To Tourmakeady - Nathan Carter

I’m dreamin' tonight

of days so long ago.

The days of my childhood,

in the county of Mayo.

And as I wonder back in time

my eyes fill up with tears

For I’ve been away so long

for oh so many years.

O', Take me back to Tourmakeady.

Back to Tourmakeady

near the town of Ballanrow.

O', Take me back to Tourmakeady

Back to Tourmakeady

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.

O', Take me back to Tourmakeady.

Back to Tourmakeady

near the town of Ballanrow.

O', Take me back to Tourmakeady

Back to Tourmakeady

in the county of Mayo.

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 yourbreath away.

How I loved to walk those hills

to living childhood days.

O', Take me back to Tourmakeady.

Back to Tourmakeady

near the town of Ballanrow.

O', Take me back to Tourmakeady

Back to Tourmakeady

in the county of Mayo.
