\beginchorus
|
|
Can anybody tell me where the Blarney Roses grow?
|
|
It may be down in Limerick town or over in Mayo.
|
|
It's somewhere in the Em'rald Isle, but this I want to know:
|
|
Can anybody tell me where the Blarney Roses grow?

\beginverse
|
|
'Twas over in ould Ireland near the town of Cushendall,
|
|
One morn I met a damsel there, the fairest of them all.
|
|
'Twas with my young affections and my money did she go,
|
|
And she told me she belonged to where the Blarney Roses grow.
|
|
\endverse

\beginverse
|
|
Her cheeks were like the roses, her hair a raven hue.
|
|
Before that she was done with me, she had me raving too.
|
|
She left me sorely stranded, not a coin she left, you know,
|
|
And she told me she belonged to where the Blarney Roses grow.
|
|
\endverse

|
|
\beginverse
|
|
They've roses in Killarney, and the same in County Clare,
|
|
But 'pon my word those roses, boys, I can't see anywhere.
|
|
She blarney'd me and, by the powers, she left me broke -- ho, ho! --
|
|
Did this damsel that belonged to where the Blarney Roses grow.
|
|
\endverse

|
\beginverse
|
|
Acushla gra-machree, me boys, she murmured soft, did she,
|
|
"If you belong to Ireland, it's yourself belongs to me."
|
|
Her Donegal come-all-ye brogue, it captured me, you know.
|
|
Bad scram to her and that same place, where the Blarney Roses grow.
