Folk Tale - Christy Moore

A young man fell in love with truth

In searching the wide world for her

He found her in the small house

In the clearing

In the forest

She was old and she was stooped

He pledged himself to her

To chop the wood and carry the water

Years went by until one day

The young man woke up longing, for a child

He went to the old women

And he asked to be released from his oath to her

That he might return, to the world

Certainly she said

On one condition

You must tell them that I am young beautiful

You must tell them that I am young beautiful
