Down in the Glen

(Karan Casey)


I will meet you down in the glen my love
Deep down in the glen my love
The sunlight it will fall, it will fall down at your feet
When we meet, my love

I’ll sing a rebel song for you,
All the rebel songs for you
I’ll sing them loud, I’ll sing them proud
Sing them long, sing them strong, all night long

I know you will appear as the evening shadows fade
Down in the west, my love
I know you’ll take my hand and to my lips you’ll press
The kiss I love the best in all the land

I’ll sing a rebel song for you,
All the rebel songs for you
I’ll sing them loud, I’ll sing them proud
Sing them long, sing them strong, all night long.

I know you must away before the end of day
For your rebel heart you must depart
I’ll put all the stars out there for to dress your lovely hair
And the moon will be the host of the air

And I’ll sing a rebel song for you,
All the rebel songs for you
I’ll sing them loud, I’ll sing them proud
Sing them long, sing them strong, all night long
Till Ireland will be free, just like you and me
My love

There like a pin in your hair the dark sings softly to the moon…
