Oh[D] how steet 'tis to roam by the[G] Sure's lovely [D]stream
And to[A] hear the birds[G] coo 'neath the mor[D]ning sun[F#m] beams
Where[d] the thrush and the robin their[G] sweet notes en[D]twine
On the[A] banks of the[G] Suir that flows[A7] down by Moon[D]coin
[Chorus]
Flow on lovely river flow gently along
By your waters so sweet
Sounds the Lark's merry song
On your green banks I'll wander
Where first I did join
With you lovley Molly,the rose of Mooncoin
Oh Molly dear Molly it breaks my fond heart
To know that we two for each must part
I'll think of you Molly while sun and moon shine
On the banks of the Suir that flow down by Mooncoin
She has sailed far away o're the dark rolling foam
Far away from the hills of her dear Irish home
Where the fisherman sports with his small boat and line
On the banks of the suir that flows down by Mooncoin
Then here's to the Suir with it's valleys so fair
As off times we wandered in the cool morning air
Where the roses are blooming and lillies entwine
On the banks of the Suir that flows down by Mooncoin
