I sat within a valley green I sat me with my true love
My sad heart it was torn between The old love and the [B] new love
The old for [N]
her, the new that made me Think on Ireland dearly
While soft the wind blew And it choked the cold moon
It was hard for me those words to frame [Am] To [E] break the ties that bound us
And harder still to bear the shame Of foreign chains around us
And so I said the mountain blend I shall seek it [F] morning and evening
To [Am] join the brave united Where [E]
soft wind [Ab] [B] shakes
[F] I kissed away my true love's tears My fond arms round her [D] flinging
[A]
[N] When a foeman's shot burst on our ears From out the wild woods
The bullet pierced my true love's side In her life's young spring so early
And there she died upon my grave While soft wind showed
And blood for blood without remorse I've gained the door, lands hollow
And laid my true love's clay cold Where I fall soon
And o'er her grave I wander dear No night and morning
With a breaking heart When there I ache
