The Rose Of Mooncoin - Tommy Makem
=============================
INTRO . . . . .
How - sweet 'tis to roam
- by the sun-ny shore stream
And to hear the Dove coo
'neath the mor-ning sun-beam
Where the Thrush and the Rob-in
Their - sweet notes en-twine
On the banks of the shore
that flows down by Moon-coin
Flow - on love-ly riv-er,
Flow - gent-ly a-long,
While you wat-ers so sweet
sounds a Larks mer-ry song
On your green banks I wan-dered
and - first I did join
with - you love-ly Mol-ly,
The rose of Moon-coin
Oh - Mol-ly, dear Mol-ly,
It - breaks my fond heart
to - know that we too
soon for-ev-er must part
But I think of you Mol-ly
by the sun and moon-shine
On the banks of the shore
that flows down by Moon-coin
Flow - on love-ly riv-er,
Flow - gent-ly a-long,
While you wat-ers so sweet
sounds a Larks mer-ry song
On your green banks I wan-dered
and - first I did join
with - you love-ly Mol-ly,
The rose of Moon-coin
She - sail-ed far a-way
on the dark run-ning foam
A--way from the hills
of her dear I-rish home
But a Fish-er-man sails
- with a small boat and line
On the banks of the shore
that flows down by Moon-coin
Flow - on love-ly riv-er,
Flow - gent-ly a-long,
While you wat-ers so sweet
sounds a Larks mer-ry song
On your green banks I wan-dered
and - first I did join
with - you love-ly Mol-ly,
The rose of Moon-coin
