lirik lagu frank harte - the woods of truagh

[verse 1]
out from the shady woods of truagh
mackenna rides at noon
and the sun shone brightly
not a cloud dark in the sky of june
no eye had he for nature’s charms
they don’t deny his brain
as by flowery hills he takes his way
and never draws the reins

[verse 2]
until before him looms the tall grey towers
of glaslough castle hold
which holds a treasure in its walls
more dear to him than gold
for in it dwells his own true love
his dark eyed young maureen
who yet day he hopes will bless his home
in the woods of truagh so green

[verse 3]
“i have come,” he cried, “to see you love
for tomorrow i must go
with my brave truagh men to benburb
there to defend owen roe.”
“i have come,” he cried “to see you love
and hear your accent sweet
for i might in the battle fall
and we might never meet.”
[verse 4]
go forth my love, my blessing go
and smite the saxon horde
when you return
i’ll be your bride, without another word
with a fond embrace
he bid adieu as the evening sun went down
behind yon western wooded hill
that o’erlooks glaslough town

[verse 5]
oh mackenna lightly mounts his steed
at the twilight of the eve
and he heads it over dasa hill
and truagh’s green shady lee
and that night he leads his gallant men
o’er the dark hills of tyrone
where he meets the army of the north
at benburb on their own

[verse 6]
right well o’neill was glad to see
those gallant mountaineers
who held the saxon wolves at bay
in ancient truagh for years
and well they fought on benburb’s plains
as england’s flag went down
and few that night escaped them
towards carrickfergus town
[verse 7]
when autumn’s cold was in the air
and berries ripe and red
oh mackenna and his fair young bride
in glaslough church were wed
and never in her father’s hope
a fairer bride was seen
than mcmahon’s only daughter
the dark eyed young maureen
