G'day,
Here you go:-

THE RINGSEND ROSE
(Pete St. John)

In Dublin town there lives a girl
Fairer than the flower I'm wearin'
Rose Donohue all fresh and new
And I love her past all carin'.

CHORUS
And there she goes my ringsend rose
In God's garden there's none rarer
And there she goes my ringsend rose
Dublin town has seen none fairer.

Sweet seventeen my seamstress queen
She's no bigger than a thimble
Soft satin skin, street Arab's grin
Sure she makes the work look simple.

Three yards of lace to walk with grace
And a golden ring she's askin'
The savin's slow ah but still I know
That our love is everlastin'.

Cheers,
Alan
