After the morning there comes an evening
And after the evening anthor day
And after false love there comes a true love
I'd have you listen now to what I say
I swear my love is the finest young man
As fair as any the sun shines on
But how to save him, I do not konw it
For he has got a sentence to be hung
As he was marching the streets of Derry
I own he marched up right manfully
Being much more like a commanding officer
Than a man to die upon the gallows tree
"What keeps my love so long in coming
Oh what detains her so long from me
Or does she think it a shame or scandal
To see me die upon the gallows tree"
He looked around and he saw her coming
And she was dressed all in woollen fine
The weary steed that my love was riding
It flew more swifftly than the wind
Come down, come down from that cruel gallows
I've got your pardon from the king
And I'll let them see that they dare not hang you
And I'll crown my love with a bunch of green

白昼之后是黑夜的到来
黑夜之后迎来新的一天
挥别错爱迎接真情
我需要你的倾听
我发誓，我的爱人是最好的年轻男人
就像缕缕阳光一样英俊
但是我不知道该怎样救他
他被判处绞刑
正在德里的街上游行
我承认他的步伐非常雄伟
就像指挥千军万马的指挥官
哪里像一个即将被执行绞刑的男人
“是什么让我的爱人在来的路上耽误这么久
“或者是什么阻碍了她，这么久都没到我这里来
“又或者是她认为这是羞耻的
“看到我死在绞刑架上”
他环顾四周终于看到她的到来
她穿着漂亮的羊毛衫
我们的爱就像骑在疲惫的战马上
它比风还要快
快把他从绞刑架上解下来
我从国王那里得到了赦免
我要让他们看到他们不敢伤你
我要用绿色的花环为我们的爱情加冕
