| [00:00.57] |
I sat within the valley green |
| [00:05.88] |
I sat me with my true love. |
| [00:11.52] |
|
| [00:12.40] |
My sad heart strove the two between |
| [00:17.03] |
|
| [00:17.59] |
The old love and the new love. |
| [00:22.16] |
|
| [00:22.98] |
The old for her the new |
| [00:25.35] |
That made me think on Ireland dearly. |
| [00:32.09] |
|
| [00:33.03] |
While the soft wind blew down the glade |
| [00:37.35] |
|
| [00:38.04] |
And shook the golden barley. |
| [00:43.12] |
|
| [00:44.12] |
T'was hard the woeful words to frame |
| [00:47.85] |
|
| [00:48.47] |
To break the ties that bound us. |
| [00:52.65] |
|
| [00:53.28] |
But harder still to bear the shame |
| [00:57.08] |
|
| [00:57.77] |
Of foreign chains around us. |
| [01:02.36] |
And so I said the mountain glen |
| [01:06.60] |
I'll meet at morning early. |
| [01:13.16] |
And I'll join the bold united men |
| [01:17.46] |
|
| [01:18.15] |
While soft winds shook the barley. |
| [01:22.52] |
|
| [01:23.20] |
T'was sad I kissed away her tears |
| [01:26.99] |
|
| [01:27.74] |
My fond arm round her flinging. |
| [01:32.01] |
|
| [01:32.57] |
When a foe, man's shot burst on our ears |
| [01:36.94] |
From out the wild woods ringing. |
| [01:41.23] |
A bullet pierced my true love's side |
| [01:45.86] |
In life's young spring so early. |
| [01:52.37] |
|
| [01:52.93] |
And on my breast in blood she died |
| [01:57.42] |
|
| [01:58.11] |
While soft winds shook the barley. |
| [02:02.60] |
|
| [02:03.29] |
But blood for blood without remorse |
| [02:07.88] |
I've ta'en at oulart hollow. |
| [02:12.23] |
I've lain my true love's clay like corpse |
| [02:17.25] |
|
| [02:18.03] |
Where I full soon must follow. |
| [02:22.02] |
|
| [02:22.65] |
Around her grave I've wandered drear |
| [02:27.45] |
Noon, night, and morning early. |
| [02:34.28] |
With breaking heart when e'er I hear |
| [02:40.51] |
The wind that shakes the barley. |
