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
