Arnold, Eddy - Forty Shades Of Green Lyrics
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 moorlands and the midlands with their forty shades of green
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 as sweet as Shalimar there's forty shades of green
I wish that I could spend an hour at Dublin's churning 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 a girl in Tipperary town
Again I want to see and do the things we've done and seen
Where the breeze as sweet as Shalimar there's forty shades of green...

This guy gets right up my fucking nostrils
I didn't know that Johnny Cash had written this song, wow what a beautiful and powerful song, Ireland looks so beautiful I have never visited in 57 years of my life it is one place I would love to visit before I die so beautiful just like the song 40 shades of green. RIP Johnny.
I would like Daniel O Donnell to sing my poem Rusty Oak tree it is in a museum, not because he is a celebrity but because of his voice
What can I say it is so beautiful, may God Bless you all Allen and Alanna
Ireland was heavenly. The profanation Of God’s Holy name and the law in favour of abortion makes it an unsavoury place to live.
God bless County Donegal which stands out as a pro life county. Croagh Patrick and Lough Derg are wonderful places.
Ireland can be fine when on holiday. But working there is another matter. I worked there for two and a half years. The friendly atmosphere became shallow and , as one born in Britain of Irish parents , I often felt resented - ‘over here taking our jobs’ type of mentality.
Irish people , we need to turn to Jesus for help in restoring the country to God. Amen?
I love everything you sing Daniel and after i heard you sing about shalima i had to go and buy a bottle and its the most beautiful fragrance thankyou daniel and johnny cash
In Scotland we argue both day and night, on what shade is best of 40 shades of shite
Clayson combine doing its stuff. Fifty years old or thereabouts.
Home, I miss the Emerald Isle Xo❤️🇮🇪 God bless the Irish ☘️
Powerful ,as to the feelings it brings me ,when I spent time in Ireland,and it’s beautiful,wild coast . These memories and strong feelings will never erode . Ireland is mysterious,and magical ,it draws you like a magnetic Force
I cud not av put that any better misel Albert. Mi dad was born in County Kilkenny an miss him so much.
he did revise this song so well just great and i love his singing and songs
Nagyon szépen köszönöm ezt a szép dalt.és csodás,zenét.!!!!!!
love this song my grandad used to sing this to us when we were kids still miss him 17 years later
this was a song m y mum sung many years ago
Johnny cash wrote it in 1959 according to American records.
This is a very good video. Carol WilsonX
A lovely song
hello how are you, i love this song thank you Daniel O'Donnell
"Shalimar (perfume) is a women’s fragrance originally created by Jacques Guerlain in 1921, as a classic soft amber (Oriental) parfum, and currently produced by Guerlain." according to on-line sources.
What is Shalomar?
+Connie Lewis Some of us spell it Shalymar. Check Google............
+Connie Lewis At times they call it Shalamar, perhaps leaning on the Hindi connection of shala meaning 'home'. No one can guess what 'mar' then means. But the name is synonymous today with a garden of great beauty. Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan built the Shalimar Gardens in 1641. I would ask Johnny Cash but he's too busy singing for 'Our Maker', Bless him!, 'Sigh'.
Shalomar is perfume that johnny cash bought his wife the day he wrote this song and he said he just like the sound of it so he put it in the song
lovely song thanks God bless
If I was a 90-year-old granny, I'd be wet right now
This speaks to me of our 10-day coach tour of Ireland--indeed forty shades of green.
The Emerald Isle......................
+mary jane Prouty Often I am still in wonder of the ten day tour of Ireland my husband and I took. We learned about the beautiful green across the country and about the soft days which give the girls and women those wondrous complextions.

What an amazing song! Beautiful landscapes and a beautiful voice.
JohnnyCash wrote and first sang this song in 1959 -His own words quote-"I wrote this song in 1959-yes I did"
The Irish in me loves all things Irish! This is the best version I've heard next to Cash.
Beautiful!!
We sang this as we put me Dads ashes into the Liffey.Ended up with passers by joining in.
@martyfan11 more than welcome
@thenewmodfather
I'm a Cash fan and I had no idea he said that. Thanks for the info.
@martyfan11 Johnny Cash once said it was better than his own version
ireland is such a beautiful country. rich with culture and history. :)
I don't normally listen to Daniel's versions of songs, but this is fab, and would certainly make the man in black proud, cause that's how fab it is.
wat Kilkeel boats That Anyone Know?
Very nice voice bud...very great job..Johnny would be proud of you.. :)
