I Wish My Love Was A Red Red Rose
Meav Ni Mhaolchatha
Album: Meav

I wish my love was a red, red rose
growing in yon garden fair
And I to be the gardener
of her I would take care
There's not a month throughout the year
but my love I'd renew
I'd garnish her with flowers fine
sweet William, Thyme and Rue

I wish I was a butterfly
I'd light on my love's breast
And if I was a blue cuckoo
I'd sing my love to rest
And if I was a nightingale
I'd sing to daylight clear
I'd sit and sing with you, Molly
for once I loved you dear

I wish I was in Dublin town,
and seated on the grass
In my right hand, a jug of punch, and on my knee, a lass
I'd call for liquor freely and I'd pay before I'd go
I'd roll my Molly in my arms, let the wind blow high or low
