Tonart: A major
Verse 1
G
Billy Riley at thy rest,
your father calls you from the past
C
G
His voice is loud but you were blessed
with sleep and cannot hear him
C
G
He doesn't talk much anymore,
Billy Riley
Long time ago you courted me
In the summer days
Am
when the world ran free
G
C
G
And love hung ripe on the rowan tree
C
G
You played your father's pipes
C
G
And all my joys abounded, Billy Riley
But time and other dreams took hold
Am
The land grew chill and the air ran cold
G
C
And all the things
that make young men old
G
C
Must send the wild geese flying
G
C
G
You left me with your child, Billy Riney
Your father raged and made me
swear I'd never tell you
C
G
But I couldn't bear un
and whispering stares
G
And worst of all the nights
C
D
G
Oh, curse the hour that I wrote you,
Billy Riney
But the ship was lost and all men within
And now all Ireland's grace can't win you
Out from the briny ocean
C
G
My heart lies dead at my feet
Billy Ridey
Bm
G
Your father curses the rolling sea
Am
The stormy winds fare franson me
G
C
And I curse love and my own baby
G
An d life is not the short thing
C
G
That they wouldn't have you believe
Bm
G
Billy Riney
G
The pipes will sing you fast asleep
D
Where 'er you lie in the ocean's keep
G
C
G
Forgive me if I no longer weep
C
G
As year by year I stay here
C
G
Imprisoned by my sins, Billy Riley
And you wouldn't recognise me, Billy Riley
