Chorus:
Til-la-de-do-we-pa, Til-la-de-do-we-pa 

Lyrics:
Wind that shakes the barley  
Bubbles in my beer 
Kind words on the lips of a lover 
Songs that bring me cheer 
Sorrowful knowledge that 
We’ll never be so near 
As the summer that I held you 
Oh I miss you dear

Deliberate steps together 
Rice in your hair 
Late nights spent together 
Beds made with care 
 
There’s joy in the knowledge 
Each day brings closer 
The next time that I hold you 
I can’t wait to see you dear 
 
Strange places life takes us 
Nothing is too clear 
Clouds of confusion 
Precipice of fear 
 
There’s comfort that you are 
The way you appear 
I know I can trust you 
How I love you dear 
  
Fiercee we fight for freedom 
Family and treasure 
Serving one another 
Is always a pleasure 
 
Slavery, segregation 
The thought brings a tear 
Our love once forbidden 
Oh I need you dear 
 
Smoke rose to the mantel 
Coal burned on the hearth 
Rain drained off the roof 
Of our home watering the earth 
 
Food upon the fire 
Playing children hear 
Wisdom of the elders saying 
Patience ‘till then dear
