My Lovely Rose of Clare lyrics

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.

All the sun it shines out like a jewel

on the lovely hills of Clare

as I strolled along with my sweet lass

one evening at the fair.

Her eyes they shone like silver streams,

her long and golden hair,

and I have won 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.

As we walked down by the riverbank

watched the Shannon flowing by

and listened to the nightingale

singing songs for you and I.

And now to say „farewell”

to all you true and fair,

for I will always love you,

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.
