American Old Time Song Lyrics: 17 Jane Omalley
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 17
JANE O'MALLEY.
I'll tell thee a tail of a maiden's veil,
It was worn by Jane O'Malley,
On the highland green her form was seen,
But she now sleeps in the valley.
She now sleeps,
She now sleeps in the valley.
One year ago, when the sun was low,
Along with Elwyn Ally,
To chat and talk she took a walk,
But she now sleeps in the valley.
She now sleeps,
She now sleeps in the valley.
They talked of love, she stood above
A rocky cliff with Ally;
Alas! she fell he could not save,
And now she sleeps in the valley.
She now sleeps,
She now sleeps in the valley
They searched around, till the spot was found,
Where struggled Jane O'Malley;
Where the rock was cleft, her veil was left,
And she now sleeps in the valley.
She now sleeps,
She now sleeps in the valley.
