Subject: 'On The Rosy Banks Of Green'
Can anyone help with the lyrics to this song
Thanks in advance.... God Bless.


here are some of the words to the song

Come all ye good people I fell ye will obtain
To the tale of those two lovers................
It's of a brave young sailor who plowed the raging Maine
For the sake of his young Josephine on the rosy banks of green.

Oh those two they had been schoolmates in childhood early days
When he was but a schoolboy she stole his heart away
It's of a ……father who said it could not be
But she dearly loved her sailor on the rosy banks of green.

It was on one Sunday morning down in her fathers......
When Josephine was talking to the boy she really loved
With kisses and embraces to his own dear Josephine
Saying you never will be parted from the rosy banks of green.

Her Father overheard them…..
He jumped around between them with a loaded gun in hand
Saying die you bloddy fools for no more you'll plow the Maine
And tonight you will be parted from the rosy banks of green.

.........................

But Josephine like lighting to her lovers arms she flew
