The cold winds
from the mountains
are calling soft to me,
The smell of scented
heather brings bitter
memories:
The wild and lonely
eagle up in the summer sky,
Flies high o'er Shanagolden,
where my young Willie lies.

I met him in the winter time
when snow was on the ground
The Irish hills were peaceful
and love was all around.
Scarcely twenty one years,
a young man in his prime.
We were married, darling
Willie by the eve
of Christmas time.

Do you remember darlin',
when we walked
the moonlit road
I held you in my arms,
love, I would never
let you go.
Our hands they were entwined,
my love, all in the pale
moonlight,
By the fields of Shanagolden
on a lonely winter's night.

Then came the call to arms,
love, the hills
they were aflame.
Down from the silent
mountains,
the Saxon strangers came.
I held you in my arms love,
my young heart wild with fear,
In the fields by Shanagolden,
in the springtime of the year.

You fought them,
darling Willie,
all through the summer days.
I heard the rifles firing
in the mountains far away
I held you in my arms love,
your blood ran
free and bright,
And you died in Shanagolden,
on a lonely summer's night.

But that was long ago,
love, now our son grows
fine and tall;
The hills they are at
peace again:
the Saxon strangers gone.
We'll place a red rose
on your grave,
by the silvery pale moonlight
And we'll dream
of Shanagolden on
a lonely Winter's night.
