- Verse:
- If you listen I'll sing
you a sweet little song,
- Of a flower that's now droped
and dead.
- Yet dearer to me, yes, than
all of its mates,
- Tho each holds aloft its
proud head.
- 'Twas given to me by a girl
that I know,
- Since we've met, faith I've
known no repose.
- She is dearer by far than
the world's brightest star,
And I call her my wild Irish Rose.
-
- Chorus:
- My wild Irish Rose,
- The sweetest flow'r that
grows.
- You may search ev'ry where,
but none can compare,
- With my wild Irish Rose.
- My wild Irish Rose,
- The dearest flow'r that
grows,
- And some day for my sake,
she may let me take,
- The bloom from my wild Irish
Rose.
