Fergie Lyr Req: Rosie Reilly (8) RE: Lyr Req: Rosie Reilly 20 Mar 16


From memory this is how it goes.

Rosie Reilly.

I wish I was in my love's arms,
I wish I was in my love's care,
Two pied-ball ponies in my pocket,
Rolling 'round and 'round the fair.

Chorus
Rosie, Rosie Reilly.
Rosie Reilly, Oh!
I rolled Rosie in my arms,
At the fair in Ballinasloe.

Ballinasloe was green and open,
In the morning coming down,
Rosie sitting, telling fortunes,
Cross my palm with half-a-crown.

Chorus

I didn't know she had a husband,
By far a bigger man than me,
I didn't know he had two brothers,
Both as big and as bad as he.

Chorus

I saw my brothers flinging bottles,
I saw my Da streatched on the ground,
I saw meself with my head wide open,
Rose Reilly where are you now?

Chorus

I wish I was in my love's arms,
I wish I was in my love's care,
Two pied-ball ponies in my pocket,
Rolling 'round and 'round the fair.

Chorus
