I am where Helen lies
Far beneath the paling skin
Take the jewels from her eyes
Kilgerran Lee

Mother take this stain from me
Nail me to the ancient tree
Hold your daughter up to see
Kilgerran Lee

I went to the waterside
None but foe to be my guide
None but foe to be my guide
Kilgerran Lee

Helen fair beyond compare
I'll make a garland of your hair
Shall bind my heart without a care
Kilgerran Lee

Eyes in the dark
Ever close, ever seeing
Always eyes in the dark
Watching me

I am where Helen lies
Night and day on me she cries
Out my bed I will rise
Kilgerran Lee

Oh my grave is ever green
A darkened veil over me
As my love she died for me
Kilgerran Lee
