My love she came to me
Saddle up your horses three

My father's land to keep

Is yours to follow me

All down to Beaufort flee
Mother's blessing we need

Sheep in Black Valley sing

The pleasant joy we bring

All around the ditches
All around the Glen

See the mountain Peak

And hush the locals now

Babe in the cot now lye

Tis not the night to die

It came a child was born
Feet fit the barleycorn

Land filled his heart with scorn

He took ship to New York

Caught on the docklands there
Met a wife so fair

We haven't seen nor heard

For two dozen a year

All around the ditches
All around the Glen

Hold my still eyed stare

For to keep my thoughts bare

I'll accept what I'm told

C/G
And now the ivy leaves
Creep up the walls on me
F
The broken barren trees

Reflect no life in me

The palest clouds above
The shallow river run

Let my dampened bones
G
Weary keep now at home
[Refrão]
C/G
All around the ditches
All around the Glen
F
See my fate is met
G
And lay me down on high ground
C/G
I wish to sit upon
The golden throne of skies
F
(And) watch valleys open
G C/G
And see it from your eyes
( C/G F G )
