Mooncoin

         The Rose Of Mooncoin how sweet is to roam by the sunny sure stream                       And hear the doves coo 'neath the morning sunbeam                    Where the thrush and the robin their sweet notes entwine                     On the banks of the sure that flows down by Mooncoin.  

                            Flow on, lovely river, flow gently along
                    By your waters so sweet sounds the lark's merry song
                  On your green banks I wander where first I did join
                      With you, lovely Molly, the rose of Mooncoin.

                             Oh Molly, dear Molly, it breaks my fond heart
                                    To know that we two forever must part
                            I'll think of you Molly while sun and moon shine
                       On the banks of the Shure that flows down by                                                         Mooncoin.

                         Then here's to the Shure with its valley so fair
                        As oftimes we wandered in the cool morning air
                       Where the roses are blooming and lilies entwine
                On the banks of the Shure that flows down by Mooncoin.

                             Flow on, lovely river, flow gently along
                   By your waters so sweet sounds the lark's merry song
                       On your green banks I wander where first I did join
                        With you, lovely Molly, the rose of Mooncoin.
