The Rose Of
Tralee
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 beautiful vale of Tralee.
She was lovely and fair as the rose of the
summer
Yet, 'twas not her beauty alone that won me
Oh no! 'Twas the the truth in her eye ever
beaming
That made me love Mary, the Rose of Tralee.
The cool shades of evening their mantle were
spreading
And Mary all smiling was 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, 'twas not her beauty alone that won me
Oh no! 'Twas the the truth in her eye ever
beaming
That made me love Mary, the Rose of Tralee.
