Red Is The Rose - The Highwaymen

作词：Steve Butts

作曲：Steve Butts

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

Come over the hills

My bonnie Irish lass

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

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 Killarney's

Green woods that we strayed

When the moon and the

Stars they were shining

The moon shone it's rays

On her locks of golden hair

And she swore she'd be

My love forever

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

It's not for the parting

That my sister kid

It's not for the grief

Of my mother

'Tis all for the loss

Of my bonnie Irish lass

That my heart is breaking forever

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
