Red Is the Rose |
Come over the hills my bonny Irish lass |
Come over the hills to your darling |
You choose the road love and I’ll make a vow |
That I’ll be your true love forever |
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows |
Fair is the lily of the valley |
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne |
But my love is fairer than any |
It’s down in Killarney’s green woods that we strayed |
When the moon and the stars, they were shining |
For the moon shone its rays on her locks of golden hair |
And she said she’d be my love forever |
It’s not for the parting with my sister Kate |
It’s not for the grief of my mother |
It’s all for the loss of my bonny Irish lass |
That my heart is breaking forever |
