Horslips - Speed The Plough lyrics

rate me

The girl I love waits for me now<br />

She'll be standing by the well<br />

She may have to wait until it's dry<br />

Because I am off to hell<br />

<br />

Speed the plough<br />

I'll wait no more for fire from God<br />

Listen to me now<br />

Speed the plough, speed the plough<br />

<br />

I counted lines, a pretty face<br />

From the tears, she cried<br />

Her cheeks were bleached as white as snow<br />

As she kissed me goodbye<br />

<br />

We heard the hounds, we could not see<br />

And knew our time had come<br />

I turned my back on prison farm<br />

And then began to run<br />

<br />

Speed the plough<br />

I'll wait no more for fire from God<br />

Listen to me now<br />

Speed the plough, speed the plough<br />

<br />

The girl I love waits for me now<br />

She'll be standing by the well<br />

She may have to wait until it's dry<br />

Because I am off to hell<br />

<br />

Speed the plough<br />

I'll wait no more for fire from God<br />

Listen to me now<br />

Speed the plough, speed the plough<br />

<br />

Speed the plough<br />

I'll wait no more for fire from God<br />

Listen to me now<br />

Speed the plough, speed the plough
