My Lovely Rose Of Clare

Lovely Rose of Clare - Barnbrack

You're my lovely rose of Clare

You're the sweetest girl I know

You're the queen of all the roses

Like the pretty flowers that grow

You are the sunshine of my life

So beautiful and fair

And I will always love you

My lovely rose of Clare

The sun it shone out like a jewel

On the lovely hills of Clare

When I strolled along with my sweet love

One evening at the fair

Her eyes they shone like silver streams

With her long long golden hair

I won the heart of a young sweet lass

My lovely rose of Clare

Oh my lovely rose of Clare

You're the sweetest girl I know

You're the queen of all the roses

Like the pretty flowers that grow

You are the sunshine of my life

So beautiful and fair

And I will always love you

My lovely rose of Clare

We walked down by the river bank

Was the lovely Shannon glat

And listened to the nightingale

Singing songs for you and I

And now to say goodbye

Farewell to all you people there

For I have stolen the heart of one

My lovely rose of Clare

Oh my lovely rose of Clare

You're the sweetest girl I know

You're the queen of all the roses

Like the pretty flowers that grow

You are the sunshine of my life

So beautiful and fair

And I will always love you

My lovely rose of Clare

And I will always love you

My lovely rose of Clare
