Red Is The Rose (Trad.) [Full Track], Contemporary Folk

[intro] [just voice] Come over the hills, my bonny blue-eyed lad, Come over the hills to your darling. You choose the rose, love, and I’ll make the vow And I’ll be your true love forever. [guitar] [instrumental] [chorus] Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows. Fair is the lily of the valley. Clear is the water that flows in yonder stream. But my love is fairer than any. [verse] T’was down by Killarney’s green woods that we strayed And the moon and the stars they were shining And the moon shone its rays down on your pretty face And you swore to love me forever. hmmmmmm hmmmm [chorus] Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows. Fair is the lily of the valley. Clear is the water that flows in yonder stream. But my love is fairer than any. [instrumental] [verse] It’s not for the parting that my dear father pains, It’s not for the grief of my mother. ’Tis all for the loss of my bonny blue-eyed lad That my heart is breaking forever. [chorus] Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows, And fair is the lily of the valley. Clear is the water that flows in yonder stream But my love is fairer than any. hmmmm oh my love is fairer than any.
