See  the moon is once more rising Above our land of black  and green
Hear  the rebels voice is calling "I shall not die tho' you  bury me"
Hear  the Aunt in bed a dying, "Where is my Johnny"
Faded  pictures in the hallway, which one of these brown ghosts  is he?
Fare  thee well my black haired diamond
 Fare thee well my own Aisling
Thoughts  and dreams of you will haunt me
 'Til I come back home again

 And it blows  to the East and West
 And I'll be  just like the wind  my love

 Bless the wind that shakes the barley, curse the spade and curse the plough
 Waking in the morning early, I wish to Hell I was with you now
 One, two, three telegraph poles, give me a drink of sweet poitin
 Madness from the mountains crawling, when I first met you my own Aisling
 Fare thee well... X 2
