The Rose of Tralee Lyrics & Tabs by Jim McCann
The Rose of Tralee
guitar chords lyrics
The pale moon was rising above the green mountain
The sun was declining beneath the blue sea
When I strayed with my love to the pure crystal fountain
That stands in the beautiful vale of Tralee.
She was lovely and fair as the rose of the summer
Yet, 't was not her beauty alone that won me
Oh no! 'T was the the truth in her eyes ever dawning
That made me love Mary, the Rose of Tralee.
The cool shades of evening their mantles were spreading
And Mary all smiling sat listening to me
The moon through the valley her pale rays was shedding
When I won the heart of the Rose of Tralee.
Though lovely and fair as the rose of the summer
Yet, 't was not her beauty alone that won me
Oh no! 'T was the the truth in her eyes ever dawning
Though lovely and fair as the rose of the summer
Yet, 't was not her beauty alone that won me
Oh no! 'T was the the truth in her eyes ever dawning
That made me love Mary, the Rose of Tralee.
