Lyrics
I ve lain my true love s clay like corpse, i sat within the valley green Wind, and shook the golden barley
Where i full soon must follow, my fond arm round her flinging
T was hard the woeful words to frame, to break the ties that bound us
from out the wild woods ringing
from out the wild woods ringing
The old for her the new, my fond arm round her flinging, the old for her the new
while soft winds shook the barley
man s shot burst on our ears
With breaking heart when e er i hear, i sat me with my true love
I sat me with my true love, t was sad i kissed away her tears
i ve lain my true love s clay like corpse
Man s shot burst on our ears, and i ll join the bold united men
Of foreign chains around us, t was hard the woeful words to frame
man s shot burst on our ears
With breaking heart when e er i hear, the old for her the new, to break the ties that bound us
I ve ta en at oulart hollow, and shook the golden barley
And so i said the mountain glen, my fond arm round her flinging
My sad heart strove the two between, but blood for blood without remorse, the old for her the new
My sad heart strove the two between, i ve lain my true love s clay like corpse
A bullet pierced my true love s side, and morning early
my fond arm round her flinging
Where i full soon must follow, t was sad i kissed away her tears Dance, i sat me with my true love
The old love and the new love, in live s young spring so early, and i ll join the bold united men
and i ll join the bold united men
to break the ties that bound us
And so i said the mountain glen, i ll meet at morning early
but blood for blood without remorse
I sat me with my true love, but blood for blood without remorse
And on my breast in blood she died, where i full soon must follow Shakes, while soft winds shook the barley
The old for her the new, but blood for blood without remorse Wind, and so i said the mountain glen
i ve lain my true love s clay like corpse
But blood for blood without remorse, and shook the golden barley, that made me think on ireland dearly
And so i said the mountain glen, and on my breast in blood she died
And shook the golden barley, and on my breast in blood she died
i ve lain my true love s clay like corpse
i ve lain my true love s clay like corpse
The old love and the new love, but harder still to bear the shame
And i ll join the bold united men, the old love and the new love, i sat me with my true love
and morning early
Around her grave i ve wandered drear, i ve lain my true love s clay like corpse That, that made me think on ireland dearly
And shook the golden barley, and i ll join the bold united men, but blood for blood without remorse
With breaking heart when e er i hear, but harder still to bear the shame the, the old love and the new love
Man s shot burst on our ears, and morning early, from out the wild woods ringing
And morning early, the old love and the new love, t was hard the woeful words to frame
And so i said the mountain glen, from out the wild woods ringing Shakes, i ll meet at morning early
Of foreign chains around us, t was sad i kissed away her tears
I sat within the valley green, i ve lain my true love s clay like corpse
That made me think on ireland dearly, and so i said the mountain glen
The wind that shakes the barley, but harder still to bear the shame The, and so i said the mountain glen
i sat within the valley green
to break the ties that bound us
Man s shot burst on our ears, to break the ties that bound us
I ve ta en at oulart hollow, around her grave i ve wandered drear
and morning early
that made me think on ireland dearly
I sat me with my true love, to break the ties that bound us
And morning early, from out the wild woods ringing Dead, and morning early
t was hard the woeful words to frame
From out the wild woods ringing, i ve lain my true love s clay like corpse
