High above the hills of Sligo Where the spirits do abide, Lives the legend of a widow And the grave she sits beside. In a dress as black as midnight And a veil her face to hide-- High above the hills of Sligo She lost her handsome Seamus To a highwayman it seems, And the day they found his body Was the day she lost her dreams. So her life she buried with him Where the heather grows so green-- High above the hills of Sligo They never caught the highwayman Who took her lover?s life, But they know he was a coward-- Seamus died without a fight. Twas a dagger to the back that made a widow of his wife-- High above the hills of Sligo The robber knifed her husband And he laid him down to die. But a curse was passed between them When he looked him in the eye. The love inside of Seamus Now the robber occupies-- High above the hills of Sligo. So for forty years she?s tended To the grave upon the hill, And for forty years he?s watched her He?s enchanted with her still. The slayer now a guardian, And he cannot break the spell-- High above the hills of Sligo. High above the hills of Sligo Where the spirits do abide, Lives the legend of a widow And the grave she sits beside. In a dress as black as midnight And a veil her face to hide-- High above the hills of Sligo
