[Verse] By the shore of Killarney Where the wild winds play A rose bloomed bright 'neath the break of day Her laughter danced like the rippling stream And her eyes held the glow of a poet's dream [Chorus] Oh The Rose of Killarney So fair and free With a heart as deep as the rolling sea Her voice a song Like the thrush on the bough She’s the pride of the land And the light somehow [Verse] I met her there in the soft twilight Her gown was kissed by the silver light The harp’s sweet tune filled the still night air And I swore to love her My maiden fair [Chorus] Oh The Rose of Killarney So fair and free With a heart as deep as the rolling sea Her voice a song Like the thrush on the bough She’s the pride of the land And the light somehow [Bridge] Through the heather and fern We wandered as one With the fiddle’s cry and the setting sun The bodhrán's beat kept the time so true As we pledged our love 'neath the evening’s hue [Chorus] Oh The Rose of Killarney So fair and free With a heart as deep as the rolling sea Her voice a song Like the thrush on the bough She’s the pride of the land And the light somehow
