The song "Rose Res, A.K.A. "Hey Ho", "Rose", "Peace", Round, etc., has more verses. To date, I have found the following 6 verses and 3 counter verses; does anybody have any more or variations on what I have?What a goodly thing
If the children of the earth
Could dwell together
In peace.I am an old man,
My shoes are worn and thin
I have a little pocket
To put a penny in.
If you haven't got a penny,
A hae-penny will do,
If you haven't got a hae-penny,
God bless you.Rose, Rose, Rose, Red
Will I ever see thee wed?
I will marry at thy will, sire,
At thy will.I won't be me father's Jack, no!
I won't be me mother's Jill!
I will be a fiddler free,
I'll fiddle where I will!Ding dong, ding dong
Wedding bells on an April morn
Carve my name on a moss covered stone,
On a moss covered stone.Hey, ho, nobody's home
Meat nor drink nor money have I none
Still I will be very, very merry
Hey, ho, nobody's home.Ah poor bird,
Why art thou
Singing in the shadows
At this late Hour?Ding dong, ding dong
Funeral bells on a September morn,
Rose, oh Rose, is dead and gone sire,
Dead and gone.Ah, poor bird,
Take thy flight
High above the sorrows
Of this sad night.
