Anybody knows what Clare Island is the home of? It sounds like Graanurewale when Frank McCaffrey sings it.
TIA,

COASTLINE OF MAYO

In my search for fame and fortune
I've travelled many a mile
To be on the blue horizon that
Keeps calling all the while
I have seen all kinds of grandeur
But I'm longing still, I know,
For the little, friendly places on
The coastline of Mayo.

Chorus

Belmullet and Broadhaven
Achill Island o'er the wave
Croagh Patrick's holy mountain
By the waters of Clew bay
Clare Island, home of Graanurewale
Old Newport well I know
All the friendly little places on
The coastline of Mayo.
How ever far you travel
There's one place best of all
To be again in Westport
Is the wish I oft recall
If that wish cannot be given
May God grant me as I go
One last look from Heaven's casement on
The coastline of Mayo
