Two Gallants - Ride Away lyrics

As I went up the hill To see the sisters three The only words that they could say Were "Soon they'll come for thee" As I went to the square To see my brothers hang The only words they could say Were "Till we meet again" Ride away, ride away Baby we will ride Rest upon my shoulder Until the morning light As I went to the church To let my soul be stilled The only words that I could hear Came echoing off the hills Ride away, ride away Baby we will ride Sleep upon my should While the bullets 'round us fly Far away, far away Way out past the world Ride away, ride away Baby we will ride Sleep upon my shoulder With a bullet in your side Far away, far away Way out past the world.
