The Rose Of Aranmore - Shannon Singers
My thoughts today
Though I'm far away
Dwell on Tyrconnell's shore
The salt sea air
And the colleens fair
Of lovely green Gweedore
There's a flower there
Beyond compare
That I'll treasure evermore
That grand colleen
In her gown of green
She's the Rose of Aranmore
I've travelled far
Neath the northern star
Since the day I said goodbye
And seen many maids in
The golden glades
Beneath a tropic sky
There's a vision in my reverie
I always will adore
That grand colleen in
Her gown of green
She's the Rose of Aranmore
But soon I will return again
To the scenes I loved so well
Where many an Irish lad and lass
Their tales of love do tell;
The silvery dunes and blue lagoons
Along the Rosses' shore
And that grand colleen
In her gown of green
She's the Rose of Aranmore
And that grand colleen
In her gown of green
She's the Rose of Aranmore
