There's one county back in Ireland I left so long ago In the province of brave Connaught It's the county of Mayo With it's nature and it's beauty In this peaceful land on earth It brings back some happy memories This county of my birth Lets go back to county Mayo The pride of all the west The mountain of Croagh Patrick Knock's shrine looks at its best Ballyhaunis and Claremorris Those towns I sure do know It was there I spent my childhood In the county of Mayo The day I left my homeland With fond memories I do dwell To my parents and my brothers I bid a fond farewell From New York down to Boston And on to Chicago My thoughts still linger in one place The county of Mayo |
