Dubliners - Matt Hyland lyrics

So straight away to her love she goes Into his room to awaken him Saying, "Arise, my love, and go away This very night you will be taken" "I overheard my parents say In spite of me they will transport you So arise, my love, and go away I wish to God I'd gone before you" They both sat down upon the bed Just for the side of one half hour And not a word by either said As down their cheeks the tears did shower She laid her head upon his breast Around his neck her arms entwined them Not a Duke nor Lord, nor Earl I'll wed I'll wait for you my own Matt Hyland The Lord discoursed with his daughter fair One night alone in their bed chamber Saying we'll give you leave for to bring him back Since there's no one can win your favor She wrote a letter then in haste Her heart for him was still repining They brought him back to the church to went And made a Lord of young Matt Hyland
