The Rose of ClareYou'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 Oh the sun it shines out like a jewel on the lovely hills of Clare As I strolled along with my sweet lass one evening at the fair Her eyes they shone like silver streams, her long and golden hair For I have won the heart of her, my lovely Rose of Clare We walked down by the river bank watched the Shannon flowing by And listened to the nightingale singing songs for you and I And so I must now say farewell to all you true and fair For I have stolen the heart of one, my lovely rose of Clare Instrumental Verse Oh 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 (Repeat Last Line) |
