My Mum and Dad were both from Ireland and I am so fortunate to still have family there.i absolutely love it there ,the beautiful and breathtaking scenery,the traditional music,the Pubs,the Guinness ,the people,everything about beautiful Ireland.
I'm so proud of been from Ireland 🇮🇪 ☘️☘️☘️ and Johnny Cash wrote a song about my Country and it make me so proud. Thank You Mr Cash. We have 40 shade's of green. R.I.P. to one of my favourite Singer's. I love everything about this Gentleman. Amazing Songwriter. X 💕💐🙏
n 1962 I dated an Irish lad and we used to go to the Barley Mow in Bedford and the juke box was all irish songs and this was my favourite and still is 62 years later.
And even now- long after this was recorded, there are STILL people who don't know that he wrote it! It just sounds so quintessentially Irish- perhaps his biggest song writing achievement, among many phenomenally good songs.
I’m amazed every time I watch this video. I’m amazed by the beautiful lyrics and singing of Johnny, but possibly more amazed by the cast that’s on that stage in this video.
I saw Johnny Cash,June Carter Cash and The Tennessee Three live in concert in The Carlton Cinema in O'Connell St, Dublin,Ireland many many moons ago,will never forget it.
John R CASH was such a gifted and talented man, a singer, a songwriter and a brilliant performer. It all comes together in this beautiful song he gave to the Irish people. He was simply big..big...big . /CD
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.
I’ve been a hardcore fan of Johnny Cash fan most of my life. I’m now nearly 70. The first Johnny Cash song I can remember was the theme song to the television western “The Rebel” (This was the B-side on that single.) He was a great singer and songwriter. This was my favorite song he wrote. Rosanne performed a stunning live version of it in Ireland after he died. He would have been so proud of her and honored: th-cam.com/video/T-kXrEisqb4/w-d-xo.html 🧨
Adoro a Johnny Cash mi ídolo absoluto, me gusta en todas las etapas de su vida.....lo escucho todos los días en mis largos paseos, un absoluto placer❤❤
Great song. For all you Americans that come to Ireland. When you land, don't spend too long in Dublin. Don't get me wrong, Dublin is a great little city but its gone very cosmopolitan. You'll see the real old type Ireland in Cork, Kerry, Clare, Galway, Donegal. Its a gem of a Country. And the service you get is real. Not based on tips.
I close my eyes and picture the emerald of the sea; From the fishing boats at Dingle to the shores of Dunadee. I miss the River Shannon and the folks at Skipparee; The moor lands and the meadows, With their forty shades of green. But most of all I miss a girl in Tipperary town, 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 is sweet as Shalimar, And 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 Lairn to see their forty shades of green. But most of all I miss a girl in Tipperary town, 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 is sweet as Shalimar, And there's forty shades of green.

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!*
Everybody is singing in key perfectly, it’s called harmonising, but those singing in harmony in the back are just too loud that’s why it’s sounds off to you. Every song has harmony like that but it’s hard to balance the volume when it’s live
It wasn't June. It was an Irish singer, a lady by the name of Sandy Kelly who sang with him. They were good friends but I have to agree with you. I thought the exact same. Even though she is an excellent singer on her own... it was extremely better before she started singing because it was a little too loud above his voice.

That man is loved by every person in Ireland.
and i know at least a person in Iran who loves him as much .
Deservedly. A humble man, but now ranked #4 of all time for their influence on other recording personalities.
@@BehrouzKashkar name them 😅
Am in Ireland, can confirm.
Hate the ones who ruined this song
Very flattering that he wrote a song about the emerald isle ☘️🇺🇲
Pure class and words of beauty from the one and only Johnny Cash.❤️

So did I.I think it was the late 70's.

A lovely song about Ireland - penned by Mr. Cash, the lyrics convey a visitor to the country - very nice

Love Johnny and June. They are the best
YES JOHNNY, YOU ABSOLUTELY DID QUICKLY WRITE THIS BEAUTIFUL “INSTANT CLASSIC IRISH BALLAD” ON AN AIRPLANE, JUST MINUTES AFTER YOUR DEPARTURE FROM A 1959 VISIT TO IRELAND.
THE LYRICS THAT FOLLOW ARE THE ONLY LETTER PERFECT VERSION OF THEM TO BE FOUND ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET. [INCLUDING THE CORRECT NAMES & SPELLING OF ALL IRISH ☘️ REFERENCES.]
Forty Shades of Green
Performed by Johnny Cash and friends
I close my eyes and picture the emerald of the sea
From the fishing boats at Dingle to the shores of Donaghadee
I miss the River Shannon and the folks at Skibbereen
The moorlands and the meadows with their forty shades of green
But most of all I miss a girl in Tipperary town
And most of all I miss her lips as soft as eider down
Again I want to see and do the things we've done and seen
Where the breeze is sweet as Shalimar and there's forty shades of green
I wish that I could spend an hour at Dublin's churning surf
How I long to watch the farmers drain the bogs and spade the turf
To see again the thatching of the straw the women glean
I would walk from Cork to Larne to see the forty shades of green
But most of all I miss a girl in Tipperary town
And most of all I miss her lips as soft as eider down
Again I want to see and do the things we've done and seen
Where the breeze is sweet as Shalimar and there's forty shades of green

With irish roots johnny loved the emerald isle
Kris and June are always by Johnny's side, just like two guardian angels ...
One of my fondest memories is of being in Leo's Tavern in County Donegal and hearing Forty Shades of Green.
Oh my heart ... when he takes his June by the hand
love the guy what a singer rip john june xx
I met Johnny Cash in the airport, talked to him and his wife they were beatiful all together
Adoro a Johnny Cash mi ídolo absoluto, me gusta en todas las etapas de su vida.....lo escucho todos los días en mis largos paseos, un absoluto placer❤❤
Forestry, yeah I do too..... I only saw him once live.. but he's the most wonderful singer....
Beautiful. Amazing that there's no mention of Kris Kristofferson in the credits, but he's right there on stage.
That must have been a great show!
A Great Song, Enjoyed
How to fall in love with Ireland in 3 minutes.

I'm from Cork City. West Cork is so unspoilt and the scenery is Breathtaking. This is why so many Hollywood Stars have home's in Ireland 🇮🇪 ☘️☘️☘️

Dingle is a fun place. If you go to Ireland it is worth going there.

I close my eyes and picture
The emerald of the sea
From the fishing boats at Dingle
To the shores of Donaghadee
I miss the river Shannon
And the folks at Skibbereen
The moorlands and the meddle
With their forty shades of green
But most of all I miss a girl
In Tipperary town
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 is sweet as Shalimar
And there's forty shades of green
(Green, green, forty shades of green)
I wish that I could spend an hour
At Dublin's churching 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
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 is sweet as Shalimar
And there's forty shades of green
I love this song, but I don't think Shalimar smells so sweet. To me it smells like Chapstick.

..foooking dare he
He may well of wrote it but he keeps getting the year’s wrong it was 1961 the last video I watched not 1959
The night we burnt ardoyne🇬🇧
I'd guess 95 .
