Dark _ is the evening and silent the hour
Oh, who is that minstrel by _ [C] yonder young tower
Whose [Bb] heart is so tenderly touching [Bb] with skin
Oh, who could it be [F] but young Ed [Bb] of the hill _
_ And he who sings lady love, won't you come with me now
And come and come out with me [Eb] _ under [Bb] the bough
I'll pillow your head where the light _ _ fairies tread
If you will but wed with young Ed of the hill
_ Oh, _
[F] young Ed of the hill, he has no castle nor horn
No bowman nor spearman to _ come at [F] his call
[Bb] But one little archer of exquisite skill _
Has shone a bright shadow [C] for young Ed [Bb] of the hill _
_ And it is hard to escape from this young lady's bough
And high is her castle and dark is her tower
But the mind knows the ways where the light _ _ fairies tread
And Eileen is gone with [C] young Ed of [Bb] the hill
And _ he who sings lady love, [Eb] won't you come with [F] me now
[Bb] And come and come out with me [Eb] _ under [F] the bough _
[Bb] I'll pillow your head where the light _ _ fairies tread
If you will but wed with young Ed of the hill
_ If you will but wed [F] with young Ed of the hill _ _ _
