Subject: Take me back to Castlebar From: Ceridwen Date: 02 Jul 01 - 02:06 PM I wonder if someone could help with this to verses to 'Take me back to Castlebar'?

There's glimpse of many patches(?)there and garbages(?)as well He says he made money now so she can bought a house Oh, look a lad from Carrickfergus, oh hired ???

Subject: Lyr Add: TAKE ME BACK TO CASTLEBAR From: Quincy Date: 03 Jul 01 - 12:47 PM Welcome Ceridwen! The only words I could find with the same title are below.....I wondered if they were part of it? TAKE ME BACK TO CASTLEBAR I'm waiting for John Murphy's van To take me to the site. I'm working seven days a week From morning to dark night. And when I step into the van And gently close the door, The first thing that they'll ask me is what I did the night before! Chorus: Take me back to Castlebar In the county of Mayo! It's the only place in Ireland I'm longing for to go! They greet you with a friendly smile And bid you time of day. When I set my foot in old Mayo I never more will stray! My boss Jack the ganger man He talks about the times Himself and old John Murphy Worked deep down in the mines. He says he meets them often at The Dorchester Hotel. If you want to get promotion, Get down and dig like hell! chorus best wishes, Yvonne

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Take me back to Castlebar From: Ceridwen Date: 03 Jul 01 - 01:08 PM Yes, they are, at least the first verse and the chorus, the second verse I've never heard. I've already search the net and I've found the same as you, but thank you for taking the time. Anyone else who can help with the two verse? |
Subject: Lyr Add: TAKE ME BACK TO CASTLEBAR From: Fiolar Date: 03 Jul 01 - 02:30 PM Here is the full version. I must apologise for the missing words in the penultimate verse. The version I've got seems to have been recorded live in a pub and the background noise with the audience joining in has to heard to be believed. The artists by the way are Foster and Allen. Here goes.
I'm waiting for John Murphy's van to take me to the site.
CHORUS: Take me back to Castlebar in the County of Mayo.
My boss, Jack the Ganger-Man when asked about the time,
Back in Connemara when he gets in the hump,
????? from Pakistan, who's no higher than the duck,
At the Duke of York on a Saturday night, Mick Reilly does relate,
Again apologies but maybe someone else will have the full version. It's one of those rare recordings which I was lucky to get hold of. |

You don't have to do a repost I can clear out the line breaks meself. And, by the way, the missing words are 'oh, look a lad from Pakistan'.
