[00:10.640]I sat within a valley green,
[00:15.462]I sat me with my true love,
[00:21.181]My sad heart strove the two between,
[00:26.402]The old love and the new love,
[00:31.410]The old for her, the new that made
[00:37.273]Me think on Ireland dearly,
[00:43.034]While soft the wind blew down the glade And shook' the golden barley
[00:56.910]Twas hard the woeful words to frame
[01:10.873]To break the ties that bound us
[01:16.524]But harder still to bear the shame
[01:21.763]Of foreign chains around us
[01:26.945]And so I said, "The mountain glen
[01:33.156]I'll seek an morning early
[01:38.318]And join the brave United Men!"
[01:45.375]While soft winds shook' the barley
[01:52.705]While sad I kissed away her tears,
[02:06.161]My fond arms 'round her clinging,
[02:12.367]The foeman's shot burst on our ears,
[02:18.014]From out the wildwood ringing, -
[02:23.274]The bullet pierced my true love's side,
[02:28.343]In life's young spring so early,
[02:34.315]And on my breast in blood she died
[02:41.108]While soft winds shook' the barley
[02:48.322]But blood for blood without remorse,
[03:01.485]I've ta'en at Oulart Hollow
[03:07.017]I've placed my true love's clay-cold corpse
[03:12.892]Where mine full soon will follow;
[03:17.758]And round her grave I wander drear,
[03:23.463]Noon, night and morning early,
[03:30.227]With aching heart whene'er I hear
[03:38.575]The wind that shakes the barley
[04:06.789]
