OH SO BEAUTIFUL.

A lovely song written by the great JOHNNY CASH in 1959

I emigrated from Ireland almost 50 years ago, and am now a proud citizen of the greatest Nation on earth...but I still love the old songs!

a magical voice. and a song beautifuly sung

One of my most favored IRISH SONGS.....one of the very best ever written......sing this all of the time for the residents where my mom lives in nursing home....Do shows every Sunday all volunteer.    Just love this music...thanks for posting.   I have a great many of his records.... Ken Orlando, Florida, USA

I close my eyes and picture the emerald of the sea From the fishing boats at Dingle to the shores of Dunardee I miss the river Shannon and the folks at Skibbereen The midlands and the moorlands with their forty shades of green But most of all I miss the girl in Tipperary town And most of all I miss her arms and hair so long and brown Again I want to see and do the things we've done and seen Where the breeze is sweet as Shalimar and there's forty shades of green [ piano ] I wish that I could spend an hour at Dublin's churching surf I'd love to watch the farmers drain the bogs and spade the turf To see again the thatching of the straw the women glean I'd walk from Cork to Larne to see the forty shades of green But most of all I miss the girl in Tipperary town And most of all I miss her lips as soft as eiderdown Again I want to see and do the things we've done and seen Where the breeze is sweet as Shalimar and there's forty shades of green

Great backing by the Jordanaires.

Cash and Locklin it doesn't get any better than this

Lovely song and the scenery reminded me of my lovely Scotland. Well done.

One of the best versions.
