lyrics

Come over the hill my bonny Irish lass
Come over the hill to your darling
You choose the rose love and I'll make a vow
And I'll be your true love forever

Twas down by Killarney's green woods that we strayed
When the moon and the stars, they were shining
Oh the moon shone its rays on your locks of nutbrown hair
And she swore she'd be my love forever

And red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
Fair is the lily of the valley
And clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any

It's not for the parting with my sister Cait
It's not for the grief of my mother
It's all for the loss of my bonny Irish lass
That my heart is breaking forever
