MY LOVELY ROSE OF CLARE Chorus: Oh my lovely rose of Clare, you're the sweetest girl I know You're the queen of all the roses, like the pretty flowers that grow You are the sunshine of my life, so beautiful and fair For I will always love you, my lovely rose of Clare We walked down by the river bank watched the Shannon flowing by And listened to the nightingale singing songs for you and I And to say farewell to all you true and fair For I have stolen the heart of one, my lovely rose of Clare Chorus
