Forty Shades of Green (Remastered 2021) - Ruby Murray
Written by：Ruby Murray
I close my eyes and picture the emerald of the sea
From the fishing boats at dingle
To the shores of Dona Dee
I miss the river Shannon and folks at skibereen
The moorlands and the meadlands
With their forty shades of green
But most of all I miss a boy in tipperary town
And most of all I miss his lips when evening comes around
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
I wish that I could spend an hour
At Dublin's churning surf
I'd love to watch the farmers
Drain the bog and spade the turf
To see again the thatching
Of the straw the women glean
I'd walk from cork to Larne to see
The forty shades of green
But most of all I miss a boy in tipperary town
And most of all I miss his lips when evening comes around
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
