Young Ned of the hill has no castle, no hall

No bowmen or spearmen to come at his call
  G+G               C majorC
But one little archer of exquisite skill

Has shot a bright shaft for young Ned of the hill

It is hard to escape from this young lady's bower
  G+G           C majorC      A minorAm
For high is the castle and guarded the tower
    G+G                      C majorC
But the mind knows the way where the heart holds the will
  G+G             D MajorD     G+G
And Eileen is gone with young Ned of the hill
