1
I sat within the valley green
2
I sat me with my true love
3
My sad heart strove the two between
4
The old love and the new love
5
The old for her the new
6
That made me think of Ireland dearly
7
While the soft wind blew down the glade
8
And shook the golden barley
9
T'was hard, the woeful words to frame
10
To break the ties that bound us
11
And harder still to bear the shame
12
Of foreign chains around us
13
And so I said the mountain glen
14
I'll meet at morning early
15
And I'll join the bold united men
16
While soft winds shook the barley
17
T'was sad, I kissed away her tears
18
My fond arm 'round her flinging
19
When a foe, man's shot [Incomprehensible] our ears
20
From out the wild woods ringing
21
A bullet pierced my true love's side
22
In life's young spring so early
23
And on my breast, in blood she died
24
While soft winds shook the barley
25
But blood for blood without remorse
26
I've ta'en to her hollow
27
I've lain my true love's clay-like corpse
28
Where I'll fall soon, must follow
29
Around her grave I've wandered drear
30
In night and morning early
31
With breaking heart when e'er I hear
32
The wind that shakes the barley
