Wolfe Tones

Wolfe Tones - Boston Rose lyrics

rate me

ow the autumm leaves are falling and the tourists have all gone

And the children they have all gone back to school

And my life is as it was before

I work eight hours a day but the company's still making all the rules

But there's a girl in Massachusetts south of Boston town she said

And her lovely face is with me all the day

Sure I met her down in old Tralee, golden hair upon her head

And I took her heart and she stole mine away

[Chorus]

Goodbye my Boston beauty farewell my Boston rose

I'll wait for you I'll think of you no threat to you I'll pose

Goodbye my Boston beauty farewell my Boston rose

I wish that you were here but I know that's the way life goes

There's a song we sang all summer in the bars in Dublin town

I can hear it on the factory radio

And the feelings I remember when I hear that simple tune

Make me wonder if it really happened so

For we laughed and loved together 'til the summer days were gone

And she had to fly across, the ocean wide

So goodbye my boston beauty, until we meet again

And I'll keep the fire burnin deep inside [Repeat Chorus]

And some nights when I'm drinking and my friends have gathered 'round

Well just for fun someone Brings up your name

Well I smile there with the rest of them but I can't here a sound

I love you but to them it's all the same

And nights when I'm alone my love you come into my mind

And visions flash across the Emerald Isle

Well I watch the moon there up above I'll leave this earth behind

And I'll call to you as I go sailing by

[Repeat Chorus]
