The Wind That Shakes The Barley
Lyricist:K Casey, John Cunningham, John Doyle, Seamus Egan, Winifred Horan, Traditional, John Williams
I sat within the valley green I sat me with my true love My sad heart strove the two between The old love and the new love
The old for her the new that made me Think on Ireland dearly While the soft wind blew down the glen And it shook the golden barley
T'was hard the woeful words to frame T'was worse the tide that bound us But harder still to bear the shame Of foreign chains around us
And so I said the mountain glen I'll seek at morning early And join the bold united men While soft wind shakes the barley
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com While sad I kissed away her tears My fond arms 'round her flinging When a foe man's shot burst on our ears From out the wild wood ringing
And a bullet pierced my true love's side In life's young spring so early And on my breast in blood she died While soft wind shakes the barley
And blood for blood without remorse I've taken at oulart hollow I've lain my true love's clay full corpse Where I full soon will follow
Around her grave I've wandered drear Noon, night, and morning early With a breaking heart when ever I hear The wind that shakes the barley
