Lyr Add: Coastline of Mayo (from Frank McCaffrey)

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

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
^^

Mudguard, Granuaille, Grace o´Malley, comes from there. There are several spellings, but if you put in "Granuaille" many will agree. Thanks for the song, I didn't know it yet.

yep.. many different spellings but pronounced Grawn-ya whale.

It's a gorgeous part of the world... Achill Island is one of my most favourite bits of home...

Anyone got the tune for this song?

Thanks Wolfgang + Alison,
I have a CD with this song at home. But all I am able to do is get it as a .wav file. If someone is able to convert from .wav to any of the tune formats, I will send it as a mail to him or her.
My musical abilities are limited to listening to music, but I could not write it down.
