1) Oh my lovely rose of Clare, you're the sweetest girl I know,
You're the queen of all the roses, like the pretty flower that grows.
You are the sunshine of my life, so beautiful and fair,
For I will always love you, my lovely rose of Clare.

2) As the sun shines out like a jewel, on the lovely hills of Clare,
Where I strolled along with my sweet love, one evening at the fair.
Her eyes they shone like silver streams, with her long & golden hair,
I won the heart of a young sweet lass, my lovely rose of Clare

(Chorus, which is first verse)

(Lead break)

3) Now we walk down by the riverbank, where the lovely Shannon lies,
And listen to the nightingale sing songs for you and i.
And now to say good-bye, farewell, to all you young and fair,
For I have stolen the heart of one, my lovely rose of Clare.

(Chorus, last line)
