Rose Of Mooncoin

Oh how pleasant to roam by the sunny Suir stream
To hear the dove coo 'neath the morning sunbeam
Where the thrush and the robin their sweet notes entwine
On the banks of the Suir that flows down by Mooncoin

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

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

She has sailed far away o'er the deep rolling foam
Far away from the hills of her dear native home
Where the fisherman go with their small boats and line
On the banks of the Suir that flows down by Mooncoin

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