Red is the Rose
Chorus
Red is the rose in yonder garden grows
And fair is the Lily of the Valley
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any.
Come over the hill my bonny Irish lass,
Come over the hill to your darlin'
You choose the road love and I'll make the vow
And I'll be your true love forever.
Chorus
'Twas down by Kilarney's green woods that we strayed
When the moon and the stars they were shining
The moon shone its rays on her locks of golden hair
And she swore she'd be my love forever.
Chorus
'Tis not for the parting that my sister pains
'Tis not for the grief of my mother
'Tis all for the lost of my bonny Irish lass,
That my heart is breaking forever.
