The Music Of Ireland
      The Rose Of Mooncoin

       

      How sweet is to roam by the sunny Shure stream
      And hear the doves coo 'neath the morning sunbeam
      Where the thrush and the robin their sweet notes entwine
      On the banks of the Shure that flows down by Mooncoin.

      Flow on, lovely river, flow gently along
      By your waters so sweet sounds the lark's merry song
      On your green banks I wander where first I did join
      With you, lovely Molly, the rose of Mooncoin.

      Oh Molly, dear Molly, it breaks my fond heart
      To know that we two forever must part
      I'll think of you Molly while sun and moon shine
      On the banks of the Shure that flows down by Mooncoin.

      Then here's to the Shure with its valley so fair
      As oftimes we wandered in the cool morning air
      Where the roses are blooming and lilies entwine
      On the banks of the Shure that flows down by Mooncoin.

      Flow on, lovely river, flow gently along
      By your waters so sweet sounds the lark's merry song
      On your green banks I wander where first I did join
      With you, lovely Molly, the rose of Mooncoin.
