The Rose Of Mooncoin Lyrics

The Rose Of Mooncoin

Oh how pleasant to roam by the sunny Suir stream
To hear the dove coo 'neath the morning sunbeam
Where the thrush and the robin their sweet notes entwine
On the banks of the Siur that flows down by Mooncoin.

Flow on, lovely river, flow gently along
By your waters so clear on the lark's merry song
On your green banks I wander where first I did join
With you, lovely Molly, the rose of Mooncoin.

Oh Molly, dear Molly, it breaks my fool heart
To know that we two forever must part
But I'll think of you Molly while the sun and moon shines
On the banks of the Suir that flows down by Mooncoin.

Flow on, lovely river, flow gently along
By your waters so clear on the lark's merry song
On your green banks I wander where first I did join
With you, lovely Molly, the rose of Mooncoin.

She has sailed far away o’er the deep rolling foam
Far away from the hills of her dear native home
Where the fisherman go with their small boats and line
On the banks of the Suir that flows down by Mooncoin.

Flow on, lovely river, flow gently along
By your waters so clear on the lark's merry song
On your green banks I wander where first I did join
With you, lovely Molly, the rose of Mooncoin.

[Verse & Chorus omitted by the artists:] Then here's to the Suir with its valley so fair
As oftimes we wandered in the cool morning air
Where the roses are blooming and lilies entwine
On the banks of the Suir that flows down by Mooncoin.

Flow on, lovely river, flow gently along
By your waters so clear on the lark's merry song
On your green banks I wander where first I did join
With you, lovely Molly, the rose of Mooncoin.
