First lines
Oh, it's down the long side of Farcalladen Rise, / With the knees pressing hard to the saddle, my men; / With the sparks from the hoofs giving light to the eyes, / And our hearts beating hard as we rode to the glen!
And it's back with the ring of the chain and the spur, / And it's back with the sun on the hill and the moor, / And it's back is the thought sets my pulses astir, -- / But I'll never go back to Farcalladen more!
Oh, it's down the long side of Farcalladen Rise, / And it's swift as an arrow and straight as a spear, / And it's keen as the frost when the summer-time dies, / That we rode to the glen, and with never a fear.
