lyrics

Oh Southwind of the gentle rail, you banish winter weather,
Bring salmon back to the pools again, the bees among the heather
If northward now you mean to go as softly you rustle above me
Godspeed be with you as you go, and a kiss for those who love me.

I come from south with velvet breeze, my word all nature blesses
I melt the snow and strew the trees, with flowers and soft caresses
I'll help you to dispel your woes, with joy I'll take your greeting
And bear it to my loved Mayo upon my wings so fleeting

Oh, Connaught famed for wine and play; so gay, so leal, so loving
Here's my fond wish I send today, upon the wind in its roving
These Munster folk are good and kind, right royally they treat me
But this land I gladly leave behind
With my Connaught pipes to greet me
