Bridie Gallagher - Rose of Mooncoin

Lyrics:

Oh how sweet tis to roam by the Suirs lovely stream
and to hear the birds coo neath the morning sunbeams
where the thrush and the robin their sweet notes enjoin
On the banks of the Suir that flows down by Mooncoin

CHORUS
Flow on lovely river, flow gently along
by your waters so sweet sounds the larks merry song
on your green banks Ill 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
Ill think of you Molly while sun and moon shine
on the banks of the Suir that flows down by Mooncoin CHORUS

she has sailed far away ore the dark rolling foam
far away from the banks of her dear Irish home
where the fisherman sports with his small boat and line
on the banks of the Suir that flows down by Mooncoin CHORUS

then heres to the Suir with its valleys so fair
as oft times we wandered in the cool morning air
where the roses are blooming and the lillies entwine
on the banks of the Suir that flows down by Mooncoin CHORUS
