Collection of Irish Song Lyrics
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 enjoin
On the banks of the Suir that flows down by Mooncoin
CHORUS
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 CHORUS
she has sailed far away o're 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 here's to the Suir with it's 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
