Oh, my lovely Rose of Clare
You're the sweetest girl I know
You're the queen of all the roses
Like the pretty flowers that grow
You are the sunshine of my life
So beautiful and fair
And I will always love you
My lovely Rose of Clare
The sun it shone out like a jewel
On the lovely Rose of Clare
As I strolled along with my sweet love
One evening at the fair
Her eyes they shone like silver threads
With her long, long golden hair
I won the heart of a young sweet lass
My lovely Rose of Clare
Oh, my lovely Rose of Clare
You're the sweetest girl I know
You're the queen of all the roses
Like the pretty flowers that grow
You are the sunshine of my life
So beautiful and fair
And I will always love you
My lovely Rose of Clare
