Lyrics of 'The well below the valley' by Christy Moore

A gentleman was passing by
He asked for a drink as he got dry

Chorus:
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh

My cup is full up to the brim
If I were to stoop I might fall in

Chorus:
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh

If your true lover was passing by
You'd fill him a drink as he got dry

Chorus:
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh

She swore by grass, she swore by corn
That her true love had never been born

Chorus:
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh

He said, Young maid you're swearing wrong
For six young children you had born

Chorus:
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh

If you be a man of noble fame
You'll tell to me the father of them

Chorus:
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh

There's two of them by your Uncle Dan

Chorus:
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh

Another two by your brother John

Chorus:
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh

Another two by your father dear

Chorus:
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh

If you be a man of noble 'steem
You'll tell me what did happen to them

Chorus:
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh

There's two buried 'neath the stable door

Chorus:
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh

Another two 'neath the kitchen door

Chorus:
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh

Another two buried beneath the wall

Chorus:
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh

If you be a man of noble fame
You'll tell me what will happen myself

Chorus:
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh

You'll be seven years a-ringing the bell

Chorus:
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh

You'll be seven more burning in the hell

Chorus:
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh

I'll be seven years a-ringing the bell
But the lord above may save my soul
From burning in hell

Chorus:
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh
