Where the Blarney Roses Grow

I requested this awhile back, and Frank Maher emailed them to me (thank's Frank).

I checked and did not find it in the database.

Hi Alice,
Here are the Lyrics to the Blarney Roses as taken from an Old Connie Foley Record.

'twas over in old Ireland not far from Cushindall,
One Morn I met a Coleen There,the Fairest of Them All,
'twas with My Young Affections and My Money She did go,
And She told Me She belonged to where the Blarney Roses grow.

Can anybody tell Me where the Blarney Roses grow,
It may be down in Limerick Town, or over in Mayo,
It's somewhere in the Emerald Isle but This I'd like to know,
Can anybody tell Me where the Blarney Roses grow.

Her Cheeks were like the Roses and Her Hair a Raven Hue,
And when She had done with Me,sure I was raving too,
She left Me Sorely Stranded, not a Cent she left You know,
When She told Me She belonged to where the Blarney Roses grow.

Can anybody tell Me where the Blarney Roses grow etc.

There's Roses in Killarney and the same in County Clare,
But 'pon My Word These Roses Boys, I can't find anywhere,
She Blarneyed Me and by the Power, She broke My Heart You know,
Did This Coleen that belonged to where the Blarney Roses Grow.

I hope I got all of the Words right.The Record was a bit scratchy
All the best
Frank Maher
