Irish Music - The Rose of Mooncoin / My Wild Irish Rose / My ... lyrics

rate me

How pleasant to roam by the sunny Suir stream

To hear the birds sing

'Neath the morning sunbeam

Where the thrush and the robin

Their sweet notes entwine

On the banks of the Suir

That flows down by Mooncoin

Flow on lovely river, flow gently along

By your waters so pure

Sounds the lark's merry song

On your green banks I'll wander

Where first I did join

With you lovely Molly, the Rose of Mooncoin

My wild Irish rose

The sweetest flower that grows

You may search everywhere

But none can compare

With my wild Irish rose

My wild Irish rose

The sweetest flower that grows

She may let me take

The bloom from my wild Irish rose

My wild Irish rose

The sweetest flower that grows

And some day for my sake

She may let me take

The bloom from my wild Irish rose

My wild Irish rose

The sweetest flower that grows

And some day for my sake

She may let me take

The bloom from my wild Irish rose

My lovely rose of Clare

You're the sweetest girl I know

You're the Queen of all the roses

Like the pretty flowers that grow

You are the sunshine of my life

So beautiful and fair

And I will always love you

My lovely rose of Clare
