Do not sigh do not weep | B |
The priests are on the ocean green | A |

- | |
Over hills and thro' dales | D |
Have I roam'd for your sake | E |
All yesterday I sail'd with sails | D |
On river and on lake | E |
The Erne at its highest flood | F |
I dash'd across unseen | A |
For there was lightning in my blood | F |
My Dark Rosaleen | A |
My own Rosaleen | A |
O there was lightning in my blood | F |
Red lightning lighten'd thro' my blood | F |
My Dark Rosaleen | A |

All day long in unrest | G |
To and fro do I move | H |
The very soul within my breast | G |
Is wasted for you love | I |
The heart in my bosom faints | D |
To think of you my Queen | A |
My life of life my saint of saints | D |
My Dark Rosaleen | A |
My own Rosaleen | A |
To hear your sweet and sad complaints | D |
My life my love my saint of saints | D |
My Dark Rosaleen | A |
- | |
Woe and pain pain and woe | J |
Are my lot night and noon | A |
To see your bright face clouded so | J |
Like to the mournful moon | A |
But yet will I rear your throne | A |
Again in golden sheen | A |
'Tis you shall reign shall reign alone | A |
My Dark Rosaleen | A |
My own Rosaleen | A |
'Tis you shall have the golden throne | A |
'Tis you shall reign and reign alone | A |
My Dark Rosaleen | A |
- | |
Over dews over sands | D |
Will I fly for your weal | K |
Your holy delicate white hands | D |
Shall girdle me with steel | K |
At home in your emerald bowers | D |
From morning's dawn till e'en | A |
You'll pray for me my flower of flowers | D |
My Dark Rosaleen | A |
My fond Rosaleen | A |
You'll think of me through daylight hours | D |
My virgin flower my flower of flowers | D |
My Dark Rosaleen | A |
- | |
I could scale the blue air | L |
I could plough the high hills | D |
O I could kneel all night in prayer | L |
To heal your many ills | D |
And one beamy smile from you | M |
Would float like light between | A |
My toils and me my own my true | M |
My Dark Rosaleen | A |
My fond Rosaleen | A |
Would give me life and soul anew | A |
A second life a soul anew | A |
My Dark Rosaleen | A |
- | |
O the Erne shall run red | N |
With redundance of blood | F |
The earth shall rock beneath our tread | N |
And flames wrap hill and wood | O |
And gun peal and slogan cry | P |
Wake many a glen serene | A |
Ere you shall fade ere you shall die | P |
My Dark Rosaleen | A |
My own Rosaleen | A |
The Judgement Hour must first be nigh | P |
Ere you can fade ere you can die | P |
My Dark Rosaleen | A |
