Forty Shades Of Green - Johnny Cash

Forty Shades Of Green - Johnny Cash
2:53
single, 1961
Written by Johnny Cash

A gentle, midtempo ballad that extols the places and geography of Ireland, as well as a certain lady that resides there.  "I miss the river Shannon / And the folks at Skibbereen / The moorlands and the meddle / With their forty shades of green / But most of all I miss a girl / In Tipperary town."  Obviously, it's a Cash song, but he makes it pretty authentic.  I could easily hear the Clancy Brothers doing this song.
