Fay Hield - The Briar and the Rose lyrics

I fell asleep down by a stream And there I had the strangest dream And down by Brennan's Glenn there grows A briar and a rose There's a tree in the forest I don't know where I built a nest out of your hair And climbing up high into the air A briar and a rose I don't know how long it has been Since I was born in Brennan's Glenn But near the end of spring there grows A briar and a rose Picked the rose one early morn I pricked my finger on a thorn It had grown so high it's winding wove The briar around the rose I tried to tear them both apart I felt a bullet in my heart And all dressed up in springs and clothes The briar and the rose And when I'm buried in my grave Tell me so I will know Your tears will fall to make love grow The briar and the rose And when I'm buried in my grave Tell me so I will know Your tears will fall to make love grow The briar and the rose
