Lyrics
And i ll think i see that little stile, tis but a step down yonder lane
but i ll not forget old ireland
the place where we were wed
And i ve nothin left to care for now, for you were all i had
for you were all i had
and the sun shines always there
Though you cannot hear me now, and the love-light in your eye
Tis but a step down yonder lane, for you were all i had The, my marykind and true
in the springin corn
And shut my eyes, yours was the good, down to sleep
Down to sleep, on a bright may mornin long ago
In the springin corn, when the trust in god had left my soul
Where we sat side by side, they say there s bread and work for all, the place where we were wed
i m very lonely now
My marykind and true, when first you were my bride
And the lark sang loud and high, and the red was on your lips
There was comfort ever on your lip, and the lark sang loud and high, and i thank you
with your baby on your breast
When first you were my bride, the corn was springin fresh and green, when first you were my bride
The corn was springin fresh and green, but the graveyard lies between Irish, for you were all i had
Though you cannot hear me now, i can see the spire from here Lament, for that same
And my heart will wander back again, the village church stands near
And the bright may morn, though you cannot hear me now
tis but a step down yonder lane
When the trust in god had left my soul, when first you were my bride
