Rose of Tralee

Rose of Tralee - The Bachelors

The pale moon was rising above the green mountain

The sun it was setting beneath the blue sea

As I walk strayed my love by the pure crystal fountain

That stands in the beautiful vale of tralee

She was lovely and fair like a rose of the summer

Yet 'twas not her beauty alone that won me

Oh no 'twas the truth in her eyes ever shining

That made me love mary the rose of tralee

The cool shades of evening around they were spreading

And mary all smiling sat listening to me

The moon through the valley her pale rays were shining

When I won the heart of the rose of tralee

She was lovely and fair like a rose in the summer

Yet 'twas not her beauty alone that won me

Oh no 'twas the truth in her eyes ever shining

That made me love mary the rose of tralee
