My Wild Irish Rose - Various

If you listen I'll sing you a sweet little song

Of a flower that's now droped and dead,

Yet dearer to me, yes than all of its mates,

Though each holds aloft its proud head.

Sure it was given to me by a girl that I know,

Since we've met, faith I have no repose.

She is dearer by far than the world's brightest star,

And I call her my wild Irish Rose.

My wild Irish Rose,

the sweetest flower that grows.

You may search everywhere,

but none can compare with my wild Irish Rose.

My wild Irish Rose,

the dearest flower that grows,

And some day for my sake,

she may let me take the bloom from my wild Irish Rose.

My wild Irish Rose,

Are the dearest flower that grows,

And some day for my sake,

she may let me take the bloom from my wild Irish Rose.
