John singing the Boys of the County Mayo in O'Donoghue's pub, Dublin, 30 May 2009. Luke and Andy are playing tenor banjos, Robin is on 5-string banjo, Victor on tin whistle. There are several versions of this song, which was a hit in Ireland by Margo in 1970. Here's one version:
Far away from the land of the Shamrock and heather
Never show the white feather wherever ye go.
Be like a brother and love one another,
Like the stout-hearted men from the County Mayo.
From historic Killala, from Swinford to Calla
Ballyhaunis and Westport and old Castlebar
Kiltimagh and Claremorris, Belmullet and Erris
Kilkelly and Knock that's famed near and far;
Balla, Ballinrobe, Ballina and Bohola
Keeloges and Foxford a few miles below
Newport and Cong with old Straide and Manulla
Charlestown too, in the County Mayo
So Boys, pull together in all kinds of weather,
Never show the white feather wherever ye go.
Be like a brother and love one and other,
Like the stout-hearted men from the County Mayo.
But our homes were destroyed and our land confiscated
The hand of the tyrant brought plunder and woe;
The fires are now quenched and our hearts desolated
In our once happy homes in the County Mayo
Now Boys, pull together in all kinds of weather,
Never show the white feather wherever ye go.
Be like a brother and love one another,
Like the stout-hearted men from the County Mayo.

enjoyed that - The best Mayo song of all time. It's not sung enough these days. Those wee dryshytes in the video need taught it...
"So boys pull together in all kinds of weather
Don't show the white feather wherever you go
Act each like a brother and help one another
Like true hearted men from the County Mayo"
MAYO ABU !!!
