文本歌词

Red is the rose in yonder garden grows
And fair is the lily of the valley
And clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any
Come over the hill my handsome Irish lad
Come over the hills to your darling
You choose the road love and I'll make the vow
And I'll be your true love forever'Twas down by Killarney in green woods that I did stray
The moon and the stars they were shining
The moon shone its rays on his locks of golden waves
And he swore he'd be my love foreverRed is the rose in yonder garden grows
And fair is the lily of the valley
And clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any'Twas not for the parting with my sister Kate
'Twas not for the grief of my mother
It's all for the loss of my handsome Irish lad
Now my heart is broken foreverRed is the rose in yonder garden grows
And fair is the lily of the valley
And clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any
