Horslips

Horslips are an Irish celtic rock band that compose, arrange and perform songs based on traditional Irish jigs and reels. The group are regarded as 'founding fathers of celtic rock' for their fusion of traditional Irish music with rock music and went on to inspire many local and international acts. They formed in 1970 and 'retired' in 1980 for an extended period. The name originated from a spoonerism on The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse which became "The Four Poxmen of The Horslypse". more »

The girl I love waits for me now
She'll be standing by the well
She may have to wait until it's dry
Because I am off to hell

Speed the Plough
I'll wait no more for fire from God
Listen to me now
Speed the plough, speed the plough

I counted lines a pretty face
From the tears she cried
Her cheeks were bleached as white as snow
As she kissed me goodbye
We heards the hounds we could not see
And knew our time had come
I turned my back on prison farm
And then began to run

Speed the Plough
I'll wait no more for fire from God
Listen to me now
Speed the plough, speed the plough

The girl I love waits for me now
She'll be standing by the well
She may have to wait until it's dry
Because I am off to hell

Speed the Plough
I'll wait no more for fire from God
Listen to me now
Speed the plough, speed the plough

Speed the Plough
I'll wait no more for fire from God
Listen to me now
Speed the plough, speed the plough
