The Rose Of Mooncoin

Oh how sweet 'tis to roam by the Suir's lovely stream
And to hear the birds coo 'neath the morning sunbeams
Where the thrush and the robin their sweet notes entwine
On the banks of the Suir that flows down by Mooncoin

Flow on lovely river, flow gently along
By your water's so sweet sounds the lark's merry song
On your green banks I'll wander where first I did join
With you lovely Molly, the Rose of Mooncoin

Oh Molly dear Molly it breaks my fond heart
To know that we two forever must part
I'll think of you Molly while sun and moon shine
On the banks of the Suir that flows down by Mooncoin

Flow on lovely river, flow gently along
By your water's so sweet sounds the lark's merry song
On your green banks I'll wander where first I did join
With you lovely Molly, the Rose of Mooncoin

She has sailed far away o're the dark rolling foam
Far away from the hills of our dear Irish home
Where the fisherman sports with his small boat and line
On the banks of the Suir that flows down by Mooncoin

Flow on lovely river, flow gently along
By your water's so sweet sounds the lark's merry song
On your green banks I'll wander where first I did join
With you lovely Molly, the Rose of Mooncoin
