Verse 
                                C 
Dark is the evening, silent the hour 
    G                       C 
Oh, who is that minstrel by yonder lone tower? 
      G                                  C 
Whose heart is so tenderly touching with skill? 
    G                          D          G 
Oh, who could it be, but young Ned of the hill? 

Verse

Who sings, "Lady love, will you come with me now? 
G                         C         Am 
Come and live out with me under the bough 
     G                                        C 
I'll pillow your head where the light fairies tread 
   G                           D          G 
If you will but wed with young Ned of the hill"

Verse 
                                        C 
Young Ned of the hill has no castle, no hall 
   G                     C 
No bowmen or spearmen to come at his call 
    G                              C 
But one little archer of exquisite skill 
    G                             D          G 
Has shot a bright shaft for young Ned of the hill 

Verse 
      C    D    G              Asus2        D 
It is hard to escape from this young lady's bower 
    G                      C           Am 
For high is the castle and guarded the tower 
        G                                            C 
But the mind knows the way where the heart holds the will 
    G                         D          G 
And Eileen is gone with young Ned of the hill
