  • "Forty Shades of Green" is a song about Ireland, written and first performed by American country singer Johnny Cash. Cash wrote the song in 1959 while on a trip to Ireland; it was first released as a B-side of the song "The Rebel–Johnny Yuma" in 1961.

Cash once recalled performing the song in Ireland and being told by an old man afterwards, that it must have been an old Irish folk tune. "Forty Shades of Green" has also been recorded by Daniel O'Donnell, Foster and Allen, Roger Whittaker and Ruby Murray, among others. Irish guitarist Gary Moore quoted the song in the title track of his 1987 album, Wild Frontier, as a reference to a once innocent Ireland "before the wars began": "The victims you have seen. You'll never hear them sing again The Forty Shades Of Green". (en)
