AFbove the land of blCack and Ggreen
HCear the rebels voices calling,
I wiFll not dCie 'till you buGry mCe
The auCnt upstairs in the bFed she is calCling,

FadCed pictures iFn the halClway,
WhiFch one of thCem brown ghoGsts is hCe
BlCess the wind that shakes the barley,
CuFrse the spade and cuCrse the plGough
I'Cve counted years and weFeks and dCays,
And I wiFsh to GCod I was wiGth you nCow
FCare thee well me blaFck-haired diamond,
FCare thee well me own AisGling

The madness from the mountains crawling,
When I Fsaw you fiGrst my own AisAmling

See the bright new moon is rising,

Above the land of black and green

Hear the rebels voices calling,

I will not die 'till you bury me

C F C

The aunt upstairs in the bed she is calling,

Why has he forsaken me

Faded pictures in the hallway,

Which one of them brown ghosts is he

Bless the wind that shakes the barley,

Curse the spade and curse the plough

And I wish to God I was with you now

At night fond dreams of you still haunt me,

Far across the grey north sea

And the wind it blows from the North and South,

To the East And to the West

F G

I will be like the wind my love,

For I will know no rest 'till I return to thee

1, 2, 3 telegraph poles,

Standing on the cold black road

The night is fading into morning,

Give us a drop of your sweet poitin

The rain was lashing - the sun was rising,

The wind was howling through the trees

The madness from the mountains crawling,

When I saw you first my own Aisling

Bless the wind that shakes the barley,

Curse the spade and curse the plough

And I wish to God I was with you now
