Paddy Reilly and Jmmy Crowley singing The Green Island. written by Jimmy Crowley. THE GREEN ISLAND (Jimmy Crowley) Nobody knows the answers, As the dark clouds keep rolling each day Casting a shadow upon us, From Antrim to sweet Bantry Bay In their droves all the people are leaving, sure, 'Tis worse than the black forty-four When they sailed away over the ocean, With their dreams and their lonely sea stores Chorus: What a legacy, such a tragedy, Thousands are sailing good bye The land of the eagle is calling, As we leave the Green Island, good bye And it's only six hours to Boston, And if you serve your time on the plane In no time at all you're a chippie, As good as the best at the game In Sally O'Brien's we'll be dancing, But we'll go back someday maybe when The blue moon it hangs over Durse, And the river runs up Spancil Hill Chorus: What a legacy, such a tragedy, Thousands are sailing good bye The land of the eagle is calling, As we leave the Green Island, good bye Is this a good time to remember The brave men and women who died Whose vision is misrepresented By shadows who flicker and hide They dish out their perks and their pensions, While the big fell turns in his grave To see the bright diamonds and jewels, Cast down the cold crest of a wave Chorus: What a legacy, such a tragedy, Thousands are sailing good bye One last, long look cast behind us, As they bid the Green Island good bye As they bid the Green Island good bye.
