"The Rose Of Mooncoin" lyrics

Oh, how sweet 'tis to roam by the sunny Suir stream
And to hear the dove 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 water so clear sounds the Lark's merry song
On your green banks I'll wander where first I did join
With you, lovely Molly, the rose of Mooncoin

She sailed far away o'er the dark rolling foam
Far away from the hills of her dear Irish home
Where the fisherman sports with his small boat and line
On the banks of the Suir that flows down by Mooncoin

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

Then here's to the Suir with it's valleys so fair
As off times we wandered in the cool morning air
Where the roses are blooming and the lillies entwine
On the banks of the Suir that flows down by Mooncoin

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