Thanks to Gillian Smith The Streets of Derry (Traditional Irish) And after morning there comes an evening, And after evening another day, And after false love there comes a true love, Come listen now to what I say. My love he is a handsome young man, As fair as any that the sun shone on, But how to win him I do not know, For now he has a sentence to be hung. As he walked out through the streets of Derry Im sure he stood out right manfully; He looked more like a commanding officer Than a man to die upon the gallows tree. Oh, wheres my love, shes so long in coming, And what detains her so long from me; Perhaps she thinks its a shame, a scandal For a man to die upon the gallows tree. He looked around and he saw her coming, As she rode swifter than the wind; She said, Ill show them that they cannot hang you, And Ill crown my love with a bunch of green.
