Red Is The Rose Testo

Come over the hills my bonnie Irish lass,
Come over the hills to your darling
You choose the rose love, and I'll make the vow
And I'll be your true love for ever
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 woods that we strayed,
And the moon and the stars they were shining,
The moon shone its 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
'Tis all for the loss of my bonnie Irish lass,
That my heart is breaking forever
