LRC Lyrics download
[00:34.190]Oh, after the mornin' there comes an evenin'
[00:42.800]And after the evenin' another day
[00:50.360]And after a false love there comes a true love
[00:59.110]I'll have you listen now to what I say
[01:07.030]My love he is as fine a young man
[01:15.610]As fair as any the sun shines on
[01:23.190]But how to save him I do not know it
[01:31.580]For now he's got a sentence to be hung
[01:39.590]As he was marchin' the streets of Derry
[01:48.140]I know he marched up right manfully
[01:55.830]Being much more like a commandin' officer
[02:04.280]Than a man to die upon the gallows tree
[02:42.940]What keeps my love? She's so long comin'
[02:51.370]Oh, what detains her so long from me?
[02:59.030]Or does she think it's a shame or scandal
[03:07.450]To see me die upon the gallows tree?
[03:15.310]He looked around and he saw her comin'
[03:23.490]As she rode swifter than the wind
[03:30.300]I let them see that they dare not hang you
[03:37.960]And I'll crown my love with a bunch of green

Oh, after the mornin' there comes an evenin'
And after the evenin' another day
And after a false love there comes a true love
I'll have you listen now to what I say
My love he is as fine a young man
As fair as any the sun shines on
But how to save him I do not know it
For now he's got a sentence to be hung
As he was marchin' the streets of Derry
I know he marched up right manfully
Being much more like a commandin' officer
Than a man to die upon the gallows tree
What keeps my love? She's so long comin'
Oh, what detains her so long from me?
Or does she think it's a shame or scandal
To see me die upon the gallows tree?
He looked around and he saw her comin'
As she rode swifter than the wind
I let them see that they dare not hang you
And I'll crown my love with a bunch of green
