GUEST,Jiggers Origins: Rose, Rose, Rose (Round) (49) Rose Rose Rose Rose round 18 Jul 09


Hi,

does anyone know the right words to this beautiful round(if there is a right - prob not ) . Would like to settle on a version. Interested in opinions !

I have (from various sources) :

Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose
Will I ever see thee wed
I marry that thou will (mudcat -wilt)
When thou art dead/wed. (mudcat -if thou but stay)

There's some confusion in the last line

Mudcat says :

Rose, rose, rose, rose
Shall I ever see thee wed*
Aye, marry, that thou wilt
If thou but stay.

* or "red"
