|
As I went up the hill |
|
To see the sisters three |
|
The only words that they coud say |
|
Were "Soon they'll come for thee" |
|
As I went to the square |
|
To see my brothers hang |
|
The only words that they could say |
|
Were "Till we meet again" |
|
Ride away ride away |
|
Baby we will ride |
|
Now sleep upon my shoulder |
|
Until the morning light |
|
As I went to the church |
|
To let my soul be stilled |
|
The only words that |
|
I could hear |
|
Came echoing off the hills |
|
Ride away ride away |
|
Baby we shall ride |
|
Sleep upon my shoulder |
|
While the bullets round us fly |
|
Far away far away |
|
Way out past the world |
|
Ride away ride away |
|
Baby we shall ride |
|
Sleep upon my shoulder |
|
With a bullet in your side |
|
Far away far away |
|
Way out past the world |
