Lyrics
You've heard tell of an everlasting
Realm of youth and joys
With undulating pastures
It's a fertile paradise
You needn't join Na Fianna
Nor enter make believe
There is a place
Where this has been achieved
Every night I close my eyes
And find I'm in a dream
Atop the Galtee Mountains
Just admiring all the green
Her beauty fair, renowned alike
By Gall agus na Gael
Enticed to stay in
Munster's Golden Vale
Look East from Ballyhoura
Where the views are such a treat
The crossroads of the province
Where great rivals come to meet
Go over glens, round dodgy bends
Between the wise old trees
Be captured by
The perfume in the breeze
Every night I close my eyes
And find I'm in a dream
Atop the Galtee Mountains
Just admiring all the green
Her beauty fair, renowned alike
By Gall agus na Gael
Enticed to stay in
Munster's Golden Vale
Irregulars, freestaters
And all different hues of green
From Collins and the Cosgraves
To Seán Hogan and Dan Breen
You ask why Ireland's freedom
Was for them the Holy Grail
You'll find the answer
In the Golden Vale
Every night I close my eyes
And find I'm in a dream
Atop the Galtee Mountains
Just admiring all the green
Her beauty fair, renowned alike
By Gall agus na Gael
Enticed to stay in
Munster's Golden Vale
When God was painting Ireland
With his paintbrush most serene
He covered the place
In forty shades of green
When Grubb was being buried
Per request up standing straight
The finest post life lodgings
And prime hillside real estate
The undertaker paused, admired
And gazed upon the vale
Bould Sam woke up and said
'Twas not for sale
Every night I close my eyes
And find I'm in a dream
Atop the Galtee Mountains
Just admiring all the green
Her beauty fair, renowned alike
By Gall agus na Gael
Enticed to stay in
Munster's Golden Vale
Every night I close my eyes
And find I'm in a dream
Atop the Galtee Mountains
Just admiring all the green
Her beauty fair, renowned alike
By Gall agus na Gael
Enticed to stay in
Munster's Golden Vale
