| [00:19.72] |
After the morning there comes an evening |
| [00:28.89] |
And after the evening another day |
| [00:36.56] |
And after a false love there comes a true love |
| [00:45.76] |
I'd have you listen now to what I say |
| [00:53.52] |
I swear my love is the finest young man |
| [01:02.69] |
As fair as any the sun shines on |
| [01:10.45] |
But how to save him, I do not know it |
| [01:19.42] |
For he has got a sentence to be hung |
| [01:27.24] |
As he was marching the streets of Derry |
| [01:36.21] |
I own he marched up right manfully |
| [01:44.02] |
Being much more like a commanding officer |
| [01:53.09] |
Than a man to die upon the gallows tree |
| [02:01.43] |
"What keeps my love so long in coming |
| [02:10.38] |
Oh what detains her so long from me |
| [02:17.94] |
Or does she think it a shame or scandal |
| [02:27.00] |
To see me die upon the gallows tree" |
| [02:34.97] |
He looked around and he saw her coming |
| [02:44.08] |
And she was dressed all in woollen fine |
| [02:51.44] |
The weary steed that my love was riding |
| [03:00.75] |
It flew more swifftly than the wind |
| [03:44.45] |
Come down, come down from that cruel gallows |
| [03:53.37] |
I've got your pardon from the king |
| [04:00.58] |
And I'll let them see that they dare not hang you |
| [04:09.86] |
And I'll crown my love with a bunch of green |
