Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

The cold winds from the mountains are calling soft to me,
\n The smell of scented heather brings bitter memories:
\n And the wild and lonely eagle sweeps high up in the sky
\n O’er the fields of Shanagolden, where my young Willie died.<\/p>\n

I met him in the wintertime, when the snow was on the ground.
\n The Dorsai hills were peaceful, and love was all around.
\n He was scarce nineteen years old, a young man fine and brave.
\n We were married, me and Willie, on the morn of New Year’s Day.<\/p>\n

The came the call to arms, and the hills they were in flame.
\n Down from the silent heavens, the Terran strangers came.
\n I held his in my arms, then, my young heart wild with fear,
\n In the fields near Shanagolden, in the springtime of the year.<\/p>\n

And we fought them, I and Willie, to hold our rooftrees-ground.
\n You could hear the rifles’ firing, in the mountains all around.
\n I held him in my arms again, and his blood ran free and bright,
\n And he died near Shanagolden, on a moonlit summer night.<\/p>\n

But that was long ago, now, and our son grows fine and strong;
\n The Dorsai hills are at peace again: the Terran stangers gone.
\n We’ll place a red rose on the grave, in the silvery pale moonlight,
\n And I’ll dream of Shanagolden, on a lonely autumn night.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
