Lyrics
1:58Black as night is this heart within me
2:08Black as coal is this grief that drives me
2:16Black as bootprints on polished hallways
2:27And it's you who have blackened it forever and always
2:38For you've taken what's before and behind me
2:48East and West when you would not mind me
2:56Sun moon and stars from the sky you've taken
3:05And God as well if I'm not mistaken
3:15Oh Donal Óg you'll not find me lazy
3:26Not like some high-born expensive lady
3:33I'll do your milking and I'll nurse your baby
3:43And if you were set upon I'll defend you bravely
4:04When all beside a vigil keep
4:09The West's asleep the West's asleep
4:14Alas and well may Erin weep
4:18When Connaught lies in slumber deep
4:23There lake and plain smile fair and free
4:29'Mid rocks their guardian chivalry
Black as night is this heart within me Black as coal is this grief that drives me Black as bootprints on polished hallways And it's you who have blackened it forever and always For you've taken what's before and behind me East and West when you would not mind me Sun moon and stars from the sky you've taken And God as well if I'm not mistaken Oh Donal Óg you'll not find me lazy Not like some high-born expensive lady I'll do your milking and I'll nurse your baby And if you were set upon I'll defend you bravely When all beside a vigil keep The West's asleep the West's asleep Alas and well may Erin weep When Connaught lies in slumber deep There lake and plain smile fair and free 'Mid rocks their guardian chivalry
