O my Dark RosaleenA
Do not sigh do not weepB
The priests are on the ocean greenA
They march along the deepB
There 's wine from the royal PopeC
Upon the ocean greenA
And Spanish ale shall give you hopeC
My Dark RosaleenA
My own RosaleenA
Shall glad your heart shall give you hopeC
Shall give you health and help and hopeC
My Dark RosaleenA
-
Over hills and thro' dalesD
Have I roam'd for your sakeE
All yesterday I sail'd with sailsD
On river and on lakeE
The Erne at its highest floodF
I dash'd across unseenA
For there was lightning in my bloodF
My Dark RosaleenA
My own RosaleenA
O there was lightning in my bloodF
Red lightning lighten'd thro' my bloodF
My Dark RosaleenA
-
All day long in unrestG
To and fro do I moveH
The very soul within my breastG
Is wasted for you loveI
The heart in my bosom faintsD
To think of you my QueenA
My life of life my saint of saintsD
My Dark RosaleenA
My own RosaleenA
To hear your sweet and sad complaintsD
My life my love my saint of saintsD
My Dark RosaleenA
-
Woe and pain pain and woeJ
Are my lot night and noonA
To see your bright face clouded soJ
Like to the mournful moonA
But yet will I rear your throneA
Again in golden sheenA
'Tis you shall reign shall reign aloneA
My Dark RosaleenA
My own RosaleenA
'Tis you shall have the golden throneA
'Tis you shall reign and reign aloneA
My Dark RosaleenA
-
Over dews over sandsD
Will I fly for your wealK
Your holy delicate white handsD
Shall girdle me with steelK
At home in your emerald bowersD
From morning's dawn till e'enA
You'll pray for me my flower of flowersD
My Dark RosaleenA
My fond RosaleenA
You'll think of me through daylight hoursD
My virgin flower my flower of flowersD
My Dark RosaleenA
-
I could scale the blue airL
I could plough the high hillsD
O I could kneel all night in prayerL
To heal your many illsD
And one beamy smile from youM
Would float like light betweenA
My toils and me my own my trueM
My Dark RosaleenA
My fond RosaleenA
Would give me life and soul anewA
A second life a soul anewA
My Dark RosaleenA
-
O the Erne shall run redN
With redundance of bloodF
The earth shall rock beneath our treadN
And flames wrap hill and woodO
And gun peal and slogan cryP
Wake many a glen sereneA
Ere you shall fade ere you shall dieP
My Dark RosaleenA
My own RosaleenA
The Judgement Hour must first be nighP
Ere you can fade ere you can dieP
My Dark RosaleenA
