After the morning there comes an evening
+
And after the evening another day
+
And after a false love there comes a true love
+
I'd have you listen now to what I say
+
I swear my love is the finest young man
+
As fair as any the sun shines on
+
But how to save him, I do not know it
+
For he has got a sentence to be hung
+
As he was marching the streets of Derry
+
I own he marched up right manfully
+
Being much more like a commanding officer
+
Than a man to die upon the gallows tree
+
"What keeps my love so long in coming
+
Oh what detains her so long from me
+
Or does she think it a shame or scandal
+
To see me die upon the gallows tree"
+
He looked around and he saw her coming
+
And she was dressed all in woolen fine
+
The weary steed that my love was riding
+
It flew more swiftly than the wind
+
Come down, come down from that cruel gallows
+
I've got your pardon from the king
+
And I'll let them see that they dare not hang you
+
And I'll crown my love with a bunch of green
+
