The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

Lullaby Sleeves of Green
(for maximum affect, please read it to the beat of the original Greensleeves piano tune which changes each verse)& I have dedicated this lullaby to my Irish family as my cousin's baby has just been born!

With rolling Green
On its Emerald Isle
I miss my Dear
On that Nautical mile
Sweet Gaelic music
So special
But cruel challenges still very wide

The love I have for you
Is so strong
But the distance is, so very long
When will, I see you again, My Love
I also miss you, Slievenamon

At Devil's Bit Mountain
It is so, extremely sad
A chunk
Of my heart
Mercilessly thrown in the sand

I remain in here
But, just a pawn
Where were you thrown to
My sweet love at dawn?
Tell me when will I see you, again?
When will, our ship sail in?

You'll always remain in me
Never be again, so sorry
Please Rest in Peace
My Shell
Laid in the Rock of Cashel

(Optional: last verse then first verse again to be repeated)

Hummed it out... Lovely!
