Irish Song Lyrics 
from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Gallows, The Westan James 
It stands alone against the sky where seawinds blow and seabirds fly a darkened and foreboding tree bet your purse it waits for me 
the gallows wait, against the sky the gallows wait, where seabirds fly the gallows wait, foreboding tree the gallows wait, it waits for me 
Cold, alone, sway with the wind Pray its not for you my friend tho' tis true that I have sinned this was not meant to be my end 
the gallows wait, with the wind the gallows wait, for you my friend the gallows wait, for I have sinned the gallows wait, to be my end 
I will not abandon hope to yet avoid that sturdy rope ev'n while you dance outside my cell and think that I will go to hell 
the gallows wait, abandon hope the gallows wait, a sturdy rope the gallows wait, outside my cell the gallows wait, I'll go to Hell! 
Upon these walls a true confession, thieving was my last profession, I did not take her ring in flight I stole away his wedding night Just make it clear thats why I died.. then wipe the tears all from her eyes.. I stretched before I e'r was tried.. my life was purchased with his lies.. 
the gallows wait the gallows wait the gallows wait the gallows wait....
