lyrics

Red Is The Rose - Traditional Irish ballad

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

T’was down by Killarney’s green wood that we strayed
When the moon and the stars, they were shining
The moon shone its rays on her locks of golden hair
When 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

It’s not for the parting that my sister pains
It’s not for the grief of my mother
It's 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

Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
Fair is the lily of the valley
And clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any
