I hear your voice
Echo through the pines
I hear your voice
Echo through the pines
Come sit ye down
Under the pines
Sing me your song
Under the pines
Sowing the seeds
Under the pines
Rustling leaves
Under the pines

Newry Mountain

At the foot of Newry Mountain clear water does flow
There lives a wee lassie far whiter than snow
She's slender in the waist for all young men to see
And her name in plain Irish is Grá geal mo Chroí
Twas on a summer's morning as I walked along
Down by yon green valley I heard a fine song
It was a fair damsel and her voice rang so clear
Saying how blessed would I be if my darling was here?
I then drew anear to a shade that was green
Where the leaves grew about her she scarce could be seen
It was her whole cry 'Oh my darling come away,
For without your loving company I cannot stay'
The moon it may darken and show us no light
And the bright stars of heaven fall down from their height
The rocks may all melt and the mountains remove
The hour I prove false to the fair one I love
Like a sheet of white paper her neck and her breast
Her bright eyes a-shining have robbed me of rest
She's a pattern of virtue wherever she goes
And her cheeks I compare the the red blushing rose
The ships on the ocean may go without sails
And the smallest of fishes turn into great whales
In the middle of the ocean there will grow an apple tree
If I ever prove false to my Grá geal mo Chroí
