I am where Helen lies Far beneath the paling skin Take the j**els from her eyes Kilgerran Lee Mother take this stain from me Nail me to the ancient tree Hold your daughter up to see Kilgerran Lee I went to the waterside None but foe to be my guide None but foe to be my guide Kilgerran Lee Helen fair beyond compare I'll make a garland of your hair
Shall bind my heart without a care Kilgerran Lee Eyes in the dark Ever close, ever seeing Always eyes in the dark Watching me I am where Helen lies Night and day on me she cries Out my bed I will rise Kilgerran Lee Oh my grave is ever green A darkened veil over me As my love she died for me Kilgerran Lee
