Irish Song Lyrics 
from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Take Me Back To Castlebar 
I'm waiting for John Murphy's van, to take me to the site Sure I'm working seven days a week From morning to dark night And when I step into the van and gently close the door Sure the first thing that they ask me What I did the night before 
Take me back to Castlebar, in the county of Mayo It's the only place in Ireland I'm longing for to go Where they greet you with a friendly smile And they bid you time of day When I set my foot in old Mayo, I never more will stray 
Dirty Jack, the ganger man, he talks about the time Himself and old John Murphy Worked deep down in the mines He says he meets him often at, the Dorchester Hotel If you want to get promotion now Get down and dig like hell 
Chorus - Short instrumental 
Jack from Connemarra, when he gets in the hump Sure he talks about the money he made While working on the lump Sure he blames old Maggie Thatcher And the government as well He said he's made his money now, so they can go to hell 
Chorus 
There's another chap from Pakistan, no bigger than a duck He sells his wares upon the site They fell off of the back of a truck He says he is a carpenter, and that might well be true But I've never seen him working, he's always in the loo 
Chorus - Short instrumental 
At the Duke of York on saturday night, McGraley does remit He says he first came over here, in nineteen thirty-eight That was the year before the war If me memory serves me clear For written on the factory wall, was 'No Irish wanted here' Chorus X 2
