Red is the Rose Songtext
von Órla Fallon

Come over the hill, my bonnie Irish lad
Come over the hill 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 Killarney's green wood that we strayed
The moon and the stars, they were shining
The moon shown it's rays on her locks of golden hair
And she swore she′d be my love forever

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

Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne,
But my love is fairer than any
