Thread Name: Rose, rose, rose, rose
Subject: RE: Rose, rose, rose, rose
The way I learned it has four verses, but I know there's probably more out there.


Rose, rose, rose, rose,
Will I ever see thee wed?
I will marry at thy will sire,
At thy will.

Ding dong, ding dong,
Wedding Bells on an april morn.
Carve your name in a moss-covered stone,
In a moss covered stone.

Mother, Father, dig my grave,
Dig it with a silver spade.
On it place a turtle-dove,
So that all may know that I died for love

Hey ho nobody's home
No meat, nor drink, nor money, have I none
But still I will be very merry
Hey ho hum.
