Donal Óg - Live
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...
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...
