"Red is The Rose" Irish Traditional
Come over the hills my bonnie Irish lass Come over the hills to your darling You choose the road love, and I'll make the vow And 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
Twas down by Killarneys green woods that we strayed When the moon and the stars they were shining The moon shone it's rays on her locks of golden hair And she swore she'd be my 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
Tis not for the parting with my sister Kate Tis not for the grief of my mother Tis all for the loss of my bonnie Irish lass That my heart is breaking 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
