The Rose Of Mooncoin

How pleasant to roam by the sunny Suir 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 Suir 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 Suir that flows down by Mooncoin

Then here’s to the Suir 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 Suir 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
