Ride Away - Two Gallants

As I went up the hill

To see the sisters three

The only words that they could say

Were «Soon they’ll come for thee»

As I went to the square

To see my brothers hang

The only words they could say

Were «Till we meet again»

Ride away, ride away

Baby we will ride

Rest upon my shoulder

Until the morning light

As I went to the church

To let my soul be stilled

The only words that I could hear

Came echoing off the hills

Ride away, ride away

Baby we will ride

Sleep upon my should

While the bullets 'round us fly

Far away, far away

Way out past the world

Ride away, ride away

Baby we will ride

Sleep upon my shoulder

With a bullet in your side

Far away, far away

Way out past the world
