W: To a little thatched cot in the valley
W: where the thrush and the linnet sing their ditty and their song
W: And my love's leaning over the half-door

W: Chorus:
W: Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
W: Fair is the lily of the valley
W: Clear are the waters that flow in yonder stream
W: But my love is fairer than any.
W

W: With the moon rising over the heather
W: The moon it shown fair on her head of golden hair
W: And she vowed she'd be my love forever.

W: It is not for the loss of my mother,
W: It is all for the loss of my bonnie blue-eyed lass
W: That I'm leaving my homeland forever.
