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 sweetest flower that grows And someday for my sake She may let me take The bloom from my wild Irish rose. |
Over in Killarney Many years ago Me Mother sang a song to me In tones so sweet and low Just a simple little ditty In her good old Irish way And I'd give the world If she could sing That song to me this day.

Sweet Rosy O'Grady My dear little rose She's my steady lady Most everyone knows And when we are married How happy we'll be I love sweet Rosy O'Grady And Rosy O'Grady loves me. |
