Happy Valentine’s Day, Friends
Listen to one of the greatest love songs ever written
Red is the Rose, Jamie O’Reilly Trio
Jamie O’Reilly Trio
with Jamie, Michael Smith (guitar), Bob Weber (cello),
Peter Swenson (guitar) and John Floeter (bass)
Come over the hill
My bonnie Irish lad
Come over the hill to your darling
You choose the road, love
And I’ll make my vow
And I’ll be your true love forever
Red is the Rose
that in yonder garden grows
Fair is the lily of the valley
Clear are the waters that flow in yonder stream
but my love is fairer than ever
Down by the sea on a cold winter’s eve
with the moon rising over the heather
The moon it shown fair
all on his golden hair
as he swore that he’d love me forever
It’s not for the parting of my sister Kate
It’s not for the love of my mother
It’s all for the parting of my bonnie Irish lad
That I’m leaving my homeland for ever
Red is the Rose
that in yonder garden grows
Fair is the lily of the valley
Clear are the waters that flow in yonder stream
but my love is fairer than ever
