Eddy Arnold - 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...

Eddy Arnold Forty Shades Of Green Comments
I love that the WHOLE row sings with him, not like unsecure "maybe i can sing with the band" but actually sing it.
i am only 27 but it is about me homeland.
The best Musican Johnny
THANK-YOU
One of his few songs that are *NOT* improved by background / backup singers... It was going great while he was singing solo... but then someone (June?) started singing in a different key.
*The mix is horrible!*
I do like the song and I’m Irish (in Ireland ) but let’s be honest here , it’s pure total complete and utter total Plastic Paddy shit !!!!
johnny you are a legend can never stop listening to you RI P Dear friend xx
Ireland is beautiful, magical and mysterious . When you go ,stop off at a few local pubs ,and listen to the music .
When you go, make plans to go back! She grabs your heart, and won't let go. That's not a bad thing!
Thank you Johnny for this wonderful song about my country. May God rest your beautiful soul.xx
Loved it for years.....so I recorded it......

My dad asked him to play this song that night. Asbury Park NJ
Sean Lowney love this song
Unbelievable rendition Johnny and the song goes on with Rosanne
Johnny cash, his little brother, shorty cash, and his sister cash Flo. Lol
Johnny and June made for each other .may they Rest in peace .
who is the hairy bastard on backing vocals?
I wouldn't call him that way. You're talking about John Carter Cash, Johnny's and June's son who was in his early 20's here.
Cheers!!
Love Johnny and June. They are the best
I just love Johnny cash and June they were so devoted to each outher
I was so blessed to see Johnny and June

SO beautiful... Thank you Johnny for one of the greatest songs about Ireland!
What a beautiful song, love it.

Johnny Cash stars, sings and sounds magnificent with all those shades of green.
teddy bear
Forestry, yeah I do too..... I only saw him once live.. but he's the most wonderful singer....
I miss him
666th veiwer. That sucks but this song is great. As an Irishman, I usually find American songs about Ireland to be sentimental and hokey. This is different. Johnny's voice gives such a sincerity to the song that I have to love it. God bless you Johnny. Enjoy the River Jordan.
this is great i love this song and this video thank you
