[Verse]
Oh, come list a while and I'll sing you a song,
Of Anne Devlin of the hills
She's the flower that blooms forever in our land,
But her dreams of peace and freedom died forever,
From the day that Emmet failed to free our land.

In the shadow of hills, there's no kindness from the vanquished,
In the darkness of your jail, no friendly face of ours,
Only torture, pain and suffering and broken dreams and sorrow,
And a future life of poverty, shadows of your hills.

[Chorus]
All across the hills, the stars are shining brightly,
All across the hills, the flowers will bloom again,
All across your land, your memory is forgotten,
As a most ungrateful people forget the heroes of their past.

[Verse]
Now we always should remember you,
Anne Devlin of the hills
You fought bravely for the freedom of our land,
Despite the torture of your jailer, Doctor Trevor,
Or the cruel English soldier, Major Sirr's.

In the shadow of your jail, they tried everything to break you,
They prodded you with bayonets till you blood flowed to the ground,
They tried hanging, fear and bribery but you did not betray him,
To the cruel English jailers in the shadows of your hills.

[Chorus]
All across the hills, the stars are shining brightly,
All across the hills, the flowers will bloom again,
All across your land, your memory is forgotten,
As a most ungrateful people forget the heroes of their past.
