Thread Name: The Saddest Song of All
Subject: RE: The Saddest Song of All
Someone did a thread about an alleged third verse to The Rose of Tralee, and it turned out to be a gut wrencher: In the far fields of Africa, midst war's dreadful thunder,/ Her voice was a comfort and solace to me;/ The cold hand of death has now rent us asunder; /Tonight I am missing the Rose of Tralee. For such a beautiful and emotional love song, that really is a rough ending.
