I heard the rumors off in the wind,

soon after our wedding day

That my sweet love from Donegal town,

might be wandering astray

I punched the messenger square on the nose

For shame he'd make such a claim

For sure she had beaus before I proposed

And I'd other lassies the same

But hearing from you a similar tale

I now confess my concern

But lifelong friend I draw the line

At this unfathomable turn

CHORUS

You make the claim,

she's been untrue to me

and I'm not one to take sides

But if I must choose only one to believe

It'll be my Donegal bride

With meekest of voices

I asked her to tell

Had she been sharing her charms

With eyes full of fire she spat her denial

collapsed into tears in my arms

I felt the guilt rising up over me

For falsely accusing betrayal

She whispered my vows are no different now

Than the day you lifted my veil

CHORUS

So onward I go with love in my heart

And doubt in the back of my mind

I should not fear the words that I hear

But I struggle to leave them behind

She holds the answer, I crave the truth

Each time I look in her eyes

All I see is devotion to me

in the face of these terrible lies

CHORUS
