Anyone know the words to the song that goes something like "Take me back to Mayo where once I roamed so free" goes something like that...Not sure who did it. Any help would be great. Winters Wages

Take me home to Mayo

Take me home to Mayo across the Irish Sea.
Home to dear old Mayo where once I roamed so free.
Take me home to Mayo, there let my body lie
Home at last to Mayo beneath an Irish sky.

My name is Michael Gaughan, from Ballina I came.
I saw my people suffering and swore to break their chain.
I raised a flag in England, prepared to fight or die
Far away from Mayo beneath an Irish sky.

My body's cold and hungry, in Parkhurst jail I lie.
For the loving of my country on hunger strike I'll die.
I have but one last yearning I pray you'll not deny.
Bury me in Mayo beneath an Irish sky.
