Take Me Home To Mayo

Song lyrics and guitar chords

Written by Seamus Robinson

Seamus has written some great songs over the years

including-The Provie Birdie-City Of Dreams-Fianna Boy

Guiseppe Conlon,to name bur a few.

Thanks a million to Seamus for letting me include

his tribute to Michael Gaughan here.

Michael Gaughan was twenty four when he died on

hunger strike after sixty four days.

Take[G] me home to mayo,across the Irish[D] sea,

Home to dear old Mayo where[D7] once I roamed so[G] free,

Take me home to Mayo,and let my body[C] lie,

Home at last in[G] Mayo,[D]beneath an[D7] Irish[G] sky.

[2]

My name is Michael Gaughin,from Ballina I came,

I saw my country suffering,and swore to break the chains,

I raised the flag in England,prepared to fight or die,

Far away from Mayo,beneath an Irish sky.

[3]

My body cold and hungry,in Parkhurst jail I lie,

For the loving of my country,on hunger strike I die,

I have just one last longing,I pray you'll not deny,

Bury me in Mayo,beneath an Irish sky.
