Come[D] over the hills to your[A] bonny Irish[G] lass,
Come[D] over the hills to yourt[G] da[A]rling,
[G]You choose the[D] road love and[G] I'll make the vow,
And[D] I'll be your[G] true[D] love for[A]ev[D]er,
[chorus]
Red is the rose that yonder garden grows,
And fair is the lilly from thevally,
Clear is the water,that flows from the Boyne,
And my love is fairer than any.
[2]
'Twas down by Killarned's green woods that we strayed,
When the moon and the stars they were shining,
The moon shone its rays,on her locks of golden hair,
And she swore she'd be my love forever.
[3]
It's not for the parting of my sister kate,
It's not for the loss of my mother,
It's all for the loss of my bonny Irish lass,
And she swore she'd be my love forever.
