The High Kings - Red Is The Rose lyrics

Come over the hills, my bonnie Irish la** 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 (Chorus) Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows Fair is the lily of the valley Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne But my love is fairer than any 'Twas down by k**arney's green woods that we strayed When the moon and the stars, they were shining The moon shone its rays on her locks of golden hair And she swore she'd be my love forever (Chorus) It's not for the parting that my sister pains It's not for the grief of my mother It's all for the loss of my bonny Irish la** That my heart is breaking forever (Chorus X2)
