Eileen Aroon (Trad.)

I know a valley fair, Eileen Aroon
I know a cottage there, Eileen Aroon
Far in the valley shade I know a tender maid
Flow'r of the hazel glade, Eileen Aroon
Who in the song so sweet, Eileen Aroon
Who in the dance so fleet, Eileen Aroon
Dear are her charms to me, dearer her laughter free
Dearest her constancy, Eileen Aroon
Were she no longer true, Eileen Aroon
What would her lover do, Eileen Aroon
Fly with a broken chain, far o'er the sounding main
Never to love again, Eileen Aroon
Youth will in time decay, Eileen Aroon
Beauty must fade away, Eileen Aroon
Castles are sacked in war, chieftains are scattered far
Truth is a fixed star, Eileen Aroon

The Daemon Lover (Trad.)

"Well met, well met, my own true love
Well met, well met", cried he
"I've just returned from the salt, salt sea
All for the love of thee"
I could have married the king's daughter dear
She would have married me
But I have forsaken her crowns of gold
All for the love of thee
Well, if you could have married
The king's daughter dear
I'm sure you are to blame
For I am married to a house carpenter
And find him a nice young man
Oh, will you forsake your house carpenter
And go along with me?
I'll take you to where the grass grows green
To the banks of the salt, salt sea
Well, if I should forsake my house carpenter
And go along with thee
What have you got to maintain me on
And keep me from poverty?
Six ships, six ships all out on the sea
Seven more upon dry land
One hundred and ten all brave sailor men
Will be at your command
She picked up her own wee babe
Kisses gave him three
Said, "Stay right here with my house carpenter
And keep him good company"
Well, they'd not been gone
But about two weeks
I know it was not three
When this fair lady began to weep
She wept most bitterly
Ah, why do you weep, my fair young maid
Weep it for your golden store?
Or do you weep for your house carpenter
Who never you shall see anymore?
I do not weep for my house carpenter
Or for any golden store
I do weep for my own wee babe
Who never I shall see anymore
Well, they'd not been gone
But about three weeks
I'm sure it was not four
Our gallant ship sprang a leak and sank
Never to rise anymore
What hills, what hills are those, my love
That rise so fair and high?
Those are the hills of heaven, my love
But not for you and I
And what hills, what hills are those, my love
That are so dark and low?
Those are the hills of hell, my love
Where you and I must go
