The Dubliners - A Bunch Of Red Roses lyrics
[The Dubliners - A Bunch Of Red Roses lyrics]
A sober black shawl hides her body entirely
Touched by the sun and the
Salt spray of the sea
But down in the darkness a
Slim hand so lovely
Carries a rich bunch of red roses for me
Her petticoat simple and her
Feet are but bare
And all that she has is but neat and scanty
But stars in the deep of
Her eyes are exclaiming
I carry a rich bunch of red roses for thee
No arrogant jewel sit's enthroned
On her forehead
Or swings from a white ear for all men to see
But jewelled desire in a bosom so pearly
Carries a rich bunch of red roses for me
Touched by the sun and the
Salt spray of the sea
But down in the darkness a
Slim hand so lovely
Carries a rich bunch of red roses for me
Her petticoat simple and her
Feet are but bare
And all that she has is but neat and scanty
But stars in the deep of
Her eyes are exclaiming
I carry a rich bunch of red roses for thee
No arrogant jewel sit's enthroned
On her forehead
Or swings from a white ear for all men to see
But jewelled desire in a bosom so pearly
Carries a rich bunch of red roses for me
