Thin Lizzy - Roisin Dubh : A Rock Legend Lyrics
Tell me the legends of long agoWhen the kings and queens would dance in the realm of the black rosePlay me the melodies i want to knowSo i can teach my children, ohPray tell me the story of young c£ chulainnHow his eyes were dark his expression sullenAnd how he'd fight and always wonAnd how they cried when he was fallenOh tell me the story of the queen of this landAnd how her sons died at her own handAnd how fools obey commandsOh tell me the legends of long agoWhere the mountains of mourne come down to the seaWill she no come back to meWill she no come back to meOh shenandoah i hear you callingFar away you rolling riverRoll down the mountain sideOn down on down go lassie goOh tell me the legends of long agoWhen the kings and queens would dance in the realms of the black rosePlay me the melodies so i might knowSo i can tell my children, ohMy roisin dubh is my one and only true loveIt was a joy that joyce brought to meWhile william butler waitsAnd oscar, he's going wildeAh sure, brendan where have you behan?Looking for a girl with green eyesMy dark rosaleen is my only colleenThat georgie knows bestBut van is the manStarvation once againDrinking whiskey in the jar-oSynge's playboy of the western worldAs shaw, sean i was born and reared thereWhere the mountains of mourne come down to the seaIs such a long, long way from tipperary
