My Lovely Rose Of Clare
Traditional (Ireland)



Oh my lovely rose of Clare
You're the sweetest girl I know
You're the Queen of all the roses 
Like the pretty flowers that grow
You are the sunshine of my life 
So beautiful and fair
And I will always love you
My lovely Rose of Clare

Oh the sun it shines out like a jewel
On the lovely hills of Clare
As I strolled along with my sweet lass
One evening at the fair
Her eyes they shone like silver streams
Her long and golden hair
For I have won the heart of one
My lovely Rose of Clare

As we walked down by the river bank
Watched the Shannon flowing by
And listened to the nightingale
Singing songs for you and I
And to say farewell 
To all you true and fair
For I have stolen the heart of one
My lovely Rose of Clare
