Come over the hills my bonnie Irish lass

Come over the hills to your darling

You choose the rose, love

And I'll make the vow

And I'll be your true love

Forever

Red is the rose

That it yonder garden grows

Fair is the lily

Of the valley

Clear is the water

That flows from the boynne

But my love is fairer

Than any

'Twas down by Killarney's

Green woods that we strayed

The moon and the stars

They were shining

The moon shone it's rays

On her locks of golden hair

And she swore she'd be my love

Forever

Red is the rose

That it yonder garden grows

Fair is the lily

Of the valley

Clear is the water

That flows from the boynne

But my love is fairer

Than any

It's not for the parting

That my sister she pains

It's not for the grief

Of my mother

'Tis all for the loss

Of my bonnie Irish lass

That my heart is breaking

Forever

Red is the rose

That it yonder garden grows

Fair is the lily

Of the valley

Clear is the water

That flows from the boynne

But my love is fairer

Than any
